title: Challenging case of pulse infusion thrombolysis using a unique pump system for a patient with deep vein thrombosis: a case report.
abstract: A 69-year-old man presented with chronic deep vein thrombosis due to massive thrombi extending from the inferior vena cava to both femoral veins. He had undergone surgery for prostatic cancer in 1991, and since then he had been taking an artificial estrogen agent. He was successfully treated by pulse infusion thrombolysis using a unique pump system, which we have developed, without complication.
