Data from early literature suggest an association between low plasma fibrinogen level (PFL) (eg, <150 mg/dL) and hemorrhagic complications during catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for acute vascular occlusion. PFL is often used as a proxy systemic hemostatic function CDT, values may direct the duration dosing of thrombolytic infusion. Newer data that there are other potential predictors blee...

Thrombus formation is a recognised complication of IVC filter placement, however IVC and bilateral renal vein occlusion secondary to thrombus is much less common. We present a case of infrahepatic caval and bilateral renal vein occlusion secondary to thrombosis of a suprarenal IVC filter. With progressive clinical deterioration and failure of conservative medical management the patient underwen...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a severe form of deep vein thrombosis characterized by swelling, pain, and bluish discoloration. Treatment delay may cause venous gangrene, tissue ischemia, limb loss or death. Here, we present an AS case who presented with phlegmasia cerulea dolens and treated by catheter-directed thrombolysis.
