Percutaneous Endovenous Intervention Plus Anticoagulation versus Anticoagulation Alone for Treating Patients with Proximal Deep Vein Thrombosis: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review

摘要

Background: Combination treatment with percutaneous endovenous intervention (PEVI) and anticoagulation has been proposed for treating lower-extremity proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effect of PEVI plus anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone in patients with lower-extremity proximal DVT.
