Abstract
|
|
Catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) has been approved by National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) in June, 2012 according to certain criteria for proximal and extensive deep venous thrombosis (DVT). This procedure entitles medical thrombolysis in addition to endovascular thrombectomy which would help in prevention of long-term consequences of post thrombotic syndrome. The introduction of this procedure must be preceded by CT angiogram to rule out intra-abdominal pathology or aberrant anatomical disorders. We are here presenting two potential cases whom we attempted CDT but were found to have rare anatomical variants of their venous system.
