Abstract
The Pathology of Chronic Post-Thrombotic Venous Obstruction is not Chronic Thrombus
Highlights
Post-thrombotic venous obstruction is an important contributor to Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS), especially when it involves the common femoral and iliac vein
The histologic examination and tissue typing of the specimens excised from the common femoral veins demonstrated that this tissue was collagen, predominately type 1 collagen
Biomarker studies showed a high concentration of VEGF-R, especially in younger specimens, less than 1 year since the acute DVT
Summary
