Fig 1 Venous disability score after thrombolysis of deep vein thrombosis during follow-up visits. Follow-up periods were from 6 to 36 months (21 months) in the catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT)-alone group and 6 to 26 months (median, 14.6 months) in the CDT/intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) group.
