title: Symptomatic deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity in a pregnant woman successfully treated with endovascular procedures.
abstract: We report a pregnant woman with symptomatic deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity distributing in the left iliac, femoral, popliteal and calf veins. Systemic anticoagulation therapy failed; however, treatment was successful through a combination of various endovascular procedures, including catheter-directed thrombolysis. During the therapies, an optional inferior vena cava filter was implanted to protect against the development of pulmonary embolism.
