Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in the Treatment of Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens

Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in the Treatment of Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a potentially devastating complication of extensive deep venous thrombosis for which there is currently no consensus for treatment. Heparin anticoagulation, surgical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy, fasciotomy, and amputation have each been advocated. We present two cases of phlegmasia cerulea dolens successfully treated with catheterdirected venous thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a potentially devastating complication of extensive deep venous thrombosis for which there is currently no consensus for treatment. Heparin anticoagulation, surgical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy, fasciotomy, and amputation have each been advocated. We present two cases of phlegmasia cerulea dolens successfully treated with catheterdirected venous thrombolytic therapy. (Ann Vasc Surg 1998;12:471–475.)
