[Discussion comment: surgical therapy of thrombosis of leg and pelvic veins].
Referring to a survey of the literature and the own clinical series the open problems in the surgical treatment of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis are discussed. Only 2 reports have been published, which test 2 therapeutical options, surgery versus oral anticoagulant treatment in a randomised trial. Nevertheless there have been some shortcomings. Therefore a further clinical trial, with multicentre design, probably guided by a scientific society, seems justified to settle the remaining questions.
