CHRONIC VENOUS THROMBOSIS: RELIEF WITH ADJUNCTIVE CATHETER-DIRECTED THERAPY
Brief description of study
To determine if EVT should be routinely used to treat DIO-PTS, we plan to perform a multicenter randomized clinical trial (the Chronic Venous Thrombosis: Relief with Adjunctive Catheter-Directed Therapy [C-TRACT] Trial) to establish whether EVT reduces PTS severity and improves health-related QOL with acceptable safety and costs. If so, this finding will fundamentally change DIO-PTS practice towards more frequent use of EVT. If EVT proves ineffective or unsafe, this finding will reduce or eliminate the use of potentially risky and expensive procedures. The C-TRACT Steering Committee includes accomplished DVT researchers who have specialized expertise with EVT, the conduct of multicenter DVT treatment trials (including the NHLBI-sponsored ATTRACT Trial), and the evaluation of PTS.
