  Pharmaco-Mechanical Catheter-Directed Deep Venous Thrombolysis in Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens: A Monocentric Retrospective Study of 32 Patients between 2013 and 2020
  Author(s): John Philippe* and Nirvan Issur
  
  Background: Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens (PCD) is a rare form of deep venous thrombosis leading to a massive edema creating an obstruction of the arterial flow resulting in varying degree of arterial ischemic damage. In addition to the acute risks, there are important long-term complications. Recently some studies have shown that systemic anticoagulation accompanied by Pharmaco-Mechanical Catheter-Directed (P-CDT) deep venous thrombolysis has to be the first-line treatment for patients with PCD. Methods: We report a series of 32 patients in our regional hospital presenting a phlegmasia cerulea dolens and treated by pharmaco-mechanical catheter-directed deep venous thrombolysis using Recombinant Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator (r-TPA; Actilyse) accompanied with systemic anticoagulation, between 2013 and 2020.
