Abbreviations: DVT=deep venous thombosis; PE=pulmonary embolism; PTS=post-thrombotic syndrome; CEAP= Basic Clinical-Etiologic-Anatomic-Pathophysiologic (American Venous Forum) physical exam component of the Manco-Johnson pediatric PTS instrument; W-B: Wong-Baker “faces” chronic pain

*

There were no major bleeding events, and one symptomatic pulmonary embolism, within 7 days of procedure.

Includes isolated stent thrombosis.

Reliability of assessment of basic CEAP component on contralateral difference in limb circumference may be limited due to bilaterality of DVT at presentation.

§

Recurred twice in these subjects with multiple-antibody APS with thrombotic storm. Patency was eventually maintained post-MT/PMT in each patient only after multi-modal immunomodulatory therapy had been instituted and potent direct thrombin inhibition had resulted in marked decrease in D-dimer.
