Zusammenfassung: | Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disorder affecting 1 to 2 per 1000 Americans annually, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulation is the mainstay management strategy for DVT. However, this could prove insufficient in cases where a mechanical obstruction is responsible for the DVT. We are presenting an interesting case of iatrogenic DVT incurred after Prolene suturing of lacerated iliac vein and the management employed for this challenging case with a successful and significant improvement in the clinical outcome. |
