Purpose: To present midterm results from a randomized study comparing the safety and efficacy of percutaneous endovenous intervention (PEVI) + anticoagulation vs. anticoagulation alone in the reduction of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in acute symptomatic proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT).Methods: The TORPEDO trial was a randomized study to demonstrate superiority of PEVI in the reduction of the VTE and PTS at 6 months; in that trial, 183 patients (103 men; mean age 61 +/- 11 years) with symptomatic proximal DVT were randomized to receive PEVI + anticoagulation (n=91) or anticoagulation alone (n=92). PEVI consisted of one or more of a combination of thrombectomy, balloon venoplasty, stenting, and/or local low-dose thrombolytic therapy.Results: At 6 months, recurrent VTE developed in 2.3% of the PEVI + anticoagulation group vs. 14.8% in the anticoagulation only group (p=0.003); PTS developed in 3.4% vs. 27.2% (p
