Objective: Percutaneous endovenous intervention (PEVI) is gaining acceptance for select patients with symptomatic proximal lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but the benefits are uncertain in patients with isolated femoropopliteal DVTs. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to assess the safety and effectiveness of PEVI vs systemic anticoagulation for patients with isolated femoropopliteal DVT.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to March 2018. All studies comparing clinical outcomes between PEVI and systemic anticoagulation were included. The main end points were post-thrombotic syndrome and bleeding complications. Secondary outcomes included femoropopliteal patency rate, venous obstruction, and recurrent DVT.
Results: No studies directly comparing PEVI with systemic anticoagulation in isolated femoropopliteal DVTs were identified by the systematic review. A traditional literature review identified one randomized controlled trial comparing the two, which found no difference in rates of post-thrombotic syndrome in PEVI vs systemic anticoagulation (risk ratio, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.11; P = .56). We additionally identified five retrospective case series containing patients with isolated femoropopliteal DVTs, of which two reported on patency rates (46%-100% at 2 years).
Conclusions: More data are required to definitively state that PEVI should be the preferred intervention for patients with isolated femoropopliteal DVTs, although the initial evidence is promising.
