Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis co-led a major multi-site clinical trial demonstrating that post-thrombotic syndrome can be effectively treated with a minimally invasive procedure. Post-thrombotic syndrome is a common and often painful complication that affects many people who have experienced deep vein thrombosis, which involves blockages of major veins caused by blood clots. The trial results represent a significant breakthrough in managing this condition that has been difficult to treat.
