Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and impro...

Detailed Description

The rationale for performing the C-TRACT Trial is based upon: 1. the debilitating life impact of DIO-PTS upon patients, as cited in the U.S. Surgeon General's 2008 Call to Action on DVT (95); 2. the ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Subjects must meet BOTH of these Criteria
  • Disabling (moderate-to-severe) PTS, defined by a) presence of chronic venous disease \> or = 3 months duration in a leg with history of DVT, as determined by the site principal investigator or a physician co-investigator; and b) substantial limitation of daily activities or work capacity due to venous symptoms or an open venous ulcer, per the same investigator.
  • Ipsilateral iliac vein obstruction documented within 12 months prior to consent by either:
  • Occlusion or \>50% or = 50% stenosis of the iliac vein on venogram, CT venogram, MR venogram, or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or
  • Air plethysmography showing deep venous obstruction of the ipsilateral leg (reduced venous outflow fraction), and ultrasound showing echogenic material in the ipsilateral iliac vein and non-phasic continuous Doppler flow in the ipsilateral common femoral vein (CFV) in the presence of normal phasic Doppler flow in the contralateral CFV.

Exclusion

  • Subjects meeting any of these criteria will be excluded.
  • Age less than 18 years
  • Acute ipsilateral proximal DVT episode within the last 3 months, or acute contralateral DVT for which thrombolytic therapy is planned
  • Lack of suitable inflow into the ipsilateral common femoral vein per the treating physician
  • Previous stent placement in the infrarenal IVC or ipsilateral iliac or common femoral vein
  • Absence of PTS of at least moderate severity
  • Chronic arterial limb ischemia (ankle-brachial index \< 0.5 within the previous 1 month) in the ipsilateral leg (if peripheral arterial disease is present or suspected, an ankle-brachial index should be obtained and documented)
  • Presence of open venous ulcer \> 50 cm2 area, suspicion for active ulcer infection, or visualization of bone or tendon within the ulcer in the ipsilateral leg
  • Inability to tolerate endovascular procedure due to acute illness, or general health
  • Severe allergy to iodinated contrast refractory to steroid premedication
  • Known allergy to stent or catheter components
  • Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dl, uncorrectable INR \> 3.0, or platelet count \< 75,000/ml
  • Severe renal impairment (on chronic dialysis or estimated GFR \< 30 ml/min)
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation or other major bleeding diathesis
  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test)
  • Life-expectancy \< 6 months or chronically non-ambulatory for reasons other than PTS
  • Inability to provide informed consent or to comply with study assessments
  • Note - patients who initially meet an exclusion criterion can have eligibility re-evaluated on a subsequent occasion.
