Structured exercise after acute DVT may reduce long-term complications

New research presented at VAM 2026 showed how structured aerobic exercise combined with standard anticoagulation in patients with acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may help significantly reduce the risk of developing post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). The study was funded by the…
Stent maintenance: Sustaining long-term patency in deep venous system

This advertorial is sponsored by Stryker/Inari Medical. As venous stenting becomes more common, the focus must now shift to what occurs after the procedure, according to consultant vascular surgeon Stephen Black, MD, FRCS. The concept of stent maintenance is key,…
When to re-intervene: Stent surveillance and the effective use of RevCore mechanical thrombectomy to clear in-stent thrombosis

This advertorial is sponsored by Stryker/Inari Medical. How a finely tuned stent surveillance program plays a crucial role in raising the alarm of worsening symptoms in DVT patients and identifies those who might require reintervention with mechanical thrombectomy. For Jake…
Study hints at long-term cost-effectiveness of CDT and PMT over oral anticoagulation for moderate and severe PTS

During a presentation at the 2024 European Vascular Course (EVC; March 3–5) in Maastricht, The Netherlands, Anna Pouncey, MD, a clinical research fellow for vascular surgery at Imperial College London in London, England, presented findings from a study on the…
First-in-human study of Pounce thrombectomy system in acute iliofemoral DVT demonstrates 12-month PTS rate of 18%

Twelve-month outcomes from the Pounce venous thrombectomy system (Vetex Medical) first-in-human study evaluating its use in the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) recently published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders (JVS-VL) demonstrated an…
CLOUT registry: Interim two-year rates of PTS ‘significantly lower’ than those in historical DVT studies

Rates of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) among deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients treated with the ClotTriever thrombectomy system (Inari Medical) who are logged in the real-world CLOUT registry demonstrated “significant and sustained improvement” out to 24 months, according to interim two-year…
One-year CLOUT data demonstrate low rate of PTS following treatment with ClotTriever

David Dexter (Sentara Vascular Specialists, Norfolk, USA) shared one-year data from the CLOUT registry this week at The VEINS 2023 (28–30 October, Las Vegas, USA). Long-term, prospective outcome data after mechanical thrombectomy for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are lacking. The…
Primary patency after venous stenting best in NIVL patients, study finds

A recent study concludes that non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion (NIVL) patients have better primary patency after venous stenting than patients with venous thrombotic disorders. Olivier Espitia (CHU de Nantes, Nantes, France) and colleagues report this main finding from a multicenter…
Meta-analysis of PTS finds one in five at risk of long-term symptoms following isolated distal DVT

A meta-analysis is first to report the pooled risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Researchers revealed a one-in-five risk of long-term PTS after isolated distal DVT, with one in 50 patients progressing to severe…
