Suresh Vedantham, Samuel Z. Goldhaber, Jim A. Julian, Susan R. Kahn et al.

Short summary

Adding pharmacomechanical thrombolysis to anticoagulation for acute proximal deep-vein thrombosis did not reduce the overall risk of post-thrombotic syndrome but did decrease moderate-to-severe cases (18% vs. 24%) and lowered symptom severity scores.
