Abstract

A 44-year-old patient who suffered a first episode of left ilio-femoral DVT in 1994. Thereafter, he presented multiple thrombotic recurrences treated with anticoagulation. After being diagnosed with severe chronic post-thrombotic syndrome, an endovascular recanalization was performed by angioplasty and stent placement with an important morphological and symptomatic improvement. It is the first case of chronic post-thrombotic syndrome treated by endovascular recanalization approach in the province of Castellón.
