title: [Acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis. 26 cases treated with thrombectomy, temporary arteriovenous fistula and anticoagulants].
abstract: During a period of two years, 26 patients with acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis were treated with venous thrombectomy, establishing of a temporary arteriovenous fistula and anticoagulants as thrombolytic treatment was not possible. Twenty-five patients were followed-up after an average of 20 months with clinical examination, phlebography, venous strain-gauge pletysmography and vein-pump examination. At follow-up examination, 68% of the patients were free from symptoms, in 54% vein-pump function was normal and 79% had normal venous strain-gauge pletysmographic findings. One patient had venous claudication. Thrombectomy with temporary arteriovenous fistula formation offers a possibility of ensuring normal venous drainage from the lower limbs in patients with contraindications to thrombolysis.
