Randomized controlled trials of interventions for acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), notably deep venous thrombosis (DVT), represents a significant cardiovascular disease with high morbidity from post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Recent advancements in early thrombus removal technologies have prompted randomized controlled trials (RCT) to assess their efficacy and safety, particularly for iliofemoral DVT (IF-DVT), which carries the greatest risk of developing PTS. This narrative review summarizes these trials and introduces upcoming innovations to evaluate acute intervention for IF-DVT. Specific technologies discussed include catheter-directed thrombolysis, pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis, ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis, and non-lytic mechanical thrombectomy. This review underscores the importance of patient selection, with those presenting with extensive, symptomatic IF-DVT likely to benefit most.
