Thrombectomy of the Profunda Femoral Vein in Iliofemoral Deep Venous Thrombosis Using an Antegrade Popliteal Approach

ConclusionPFV clearance can be achieved via an antegrade popliteal approach in iliofemoral thrombectomy to optimise inflow, negating the need for alternative or additional venous access. PFV may maintain upstream iliofemoral vein patency even with an occluded femoral vein.Level of EvidenceLevel 4, Case Series.Graphical Abstract
