2. Indications for early thrombus removal 2.1. We suggest a strategy of early thrombus removal in selected patients meeting the following criteria: (a) a first episode of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (b) symptoms <14 days in duration (c) a low risk of bleeding (d) ambulatory with good functional capacity and an acceptable life expectancy (Grade 2C)

Conclusion DVT thrombectomy Is effective in venous thrombus removal Even in more organized thrombus Restores vein patency in upper and lower limb Has low risk and less side effects with PMT No ICU stay End it in the Angiolab PMT will be the standard treatment Treat the underlying reason with a dedicated iliac vein stent
