The authors outline a new approach to management of ileofemoral venous thrombosis: direct thrombolysis of the clot; identification of the cause of the thrombosis (usually iliac vein stenosis); then treatment of the obstructive process by balloon dilation, with or without the use of expanded stents; and reestablishment of venous flow.
