[Iliocaval venous thrombosis. Clinical and paraclinical aspects and therapeutic approach, apropos of 58 cases].

The authors report 58 cases of ilio-femoral and ilio-caval thrombosis and emphasise the considerable contribution of two vascular function tests: Doppler and occlusion rheoplethysmography, which now compensate for clinical deficiencies. Nevertheless, phlebography remains essential in defining management which is based upon age, general condition, and the site and type of thrombosis (floating or adherent clot). An outline therapeutic approach is suggested on the basis of these data.
