Midterm outcomes in postpartum women following endovenous treatment for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

Background: The development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) continues to be a considerable issue for both pregnant and postpartum women with rates as high as 70% among those managed with anticoagulation alone. This study aims to characterize the outcomes of interventional treatment for acute iliofemoral DVT in this at-risk population.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of all postpartum patients treated for acute iliofemoral DVT with lysis and stenting between January 2012 and December 2017 at a referral center.
