Authors study the role of surgical treatment in the venous thrombo-embolic disease. At the moment, venous thrombectomy can be performed only in post-operative unilateral iliac thrombosis as well as in juxtarenal vena cava thrombosis (so as to enable a sub-nephric cava interruption) and finally to ilio-cava thrombosis. Vena cava interruptions can be performed either through a peri-cava clip, or by an intra-cava filter (the most efficient appears to be the K.R. Greenfield filter). Various advantages are thus studied. Vena cava interruptions are then discussed, according to clinical and angiographic data.
