Objective To summarize the clinical outcome of combined operation for patients with Cockett syndrome complicated with acute symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
Methods From October 2008 to March 2012, a total of 23 patients (male 8 cases and female 15 cases;mean age 59.3 years old, range 36-76 years old) with Cockett syndrome complicated with acute symptomatic DVT were underwent combined surgical venous thrombectomy and endovascular stenting in ipisilateral iliac vein in our hospital. All the patients were underwent duplex ultrasonography for diagnosis of DVT. The location of thrombosis in the left iliofemoral vein was 21 cases, right iliofemoral vein was 2 cases. The affected limb of all the patients were severely swell and pain. The mean time of symptomatic DVT occurring at operation was 2.53d. All the operations were performed under general anesthesia. The inferior vena cava filter was inserted before thrombectomy, iliac vein compression was diagnosed by angiography and treated with self-expandable stent after thrombectomy. Twenty-eight self-expandable stents were placed successfully.
Results In all the cases, the procedural successful rate was 100%, the 30-day mortality rate was 0. One case suffered from hematoma at incision after operation. Median follow-up was 11.7 months (range 3-26 months). There was no case of rethrombosis. Symptoms were disappeared in 21 cases, the leg slightly swelled in 2 patients.
Conclusion Combined surgical thrombectomy and endovascular treatment for patients with Cockett syndrome complicated with acute symptomatic DVT is an effective and safe technique with low morbidity and good clinical results.
