""These patients suffer in silence. It's underdiagnosed, or frankly, not diagnosed, and we have had no proven way to treat it.""
""At six months, patients who received endovascular therapy had significantly less severe symptoms than those who received standard care alone.""
""Patients treated with stents also reported better quality of life and better overall physical health.""
""Through six months of follow-up, bleeding events occurred in nearly 12 percent of patients who underwent endovascular treatment, compared with about 4 percent of those receiving standard care.""
A clinical trial demonstrated that endovascular therapy, which involves placing a metal stent in the vein, effectively reduces symptoms of post-thrombotic syndrome. This syndrome affects many patients post-deep vein thrombosis, causing chronic pain and mobility issues. The study involved 225 patients, with those receiving endovascular therapy reporting significantly improved symptoms and quality of life compared to standard care alone. However, the therapy also led to a higher incidence of complications, including bleeding events in nearly 12% of treated patients.
