Alfonso J. Tafur: Endovascular Therapy Improves Post-Thrombotic Syndrome Outcomes at 6 Months
Alfonso J. Tafur, Board Member VAS European Independent Foundation in Angiology and Vasculearn Network, shared a post on LinkedIn about his recent article, published in The New England Journal of Medicine:
”Thrilled and honored to share C-TRACT, now out in The New England Journal of Medicine. Great leadership by Suresh Vedantham and a privilege to collaborate with our multi-center team.
For patients with moderate-to-severe post-thrombotic syndrome and iliac-vein obstruction, endovascular therapy reduced PTS severity and improved quality of life at 6 months – with a higher bleeding signal we must continue to study.”
