Abstract
This review explores the clinical presentation of lower extremity DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE), treatment strategies, and outcomes for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the pediatric population. Traditional therapy for pediatric VTE was anticoagulation alone with thrombolysis and surgery reserved only in life or limb-threatening cases. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have emerged as effective and safe treatment options for VTE management. Although most data are from adult studies, early pediatric studies suggest that these interventional procedures can be effective in children. The significant clinical impact of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is also discussed, as PTS can lead to lifelong physical symptoms and psychosocial damage.
期刊介绍：
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
