AB A  36-year-old  previously  healthy  man  presents  with  a  swollen  and  painful  right  calf  1  week  after  returning  from  a  trip  to  Europe.  On  examination,  the  affected  calf  is  tender,  slightly  warm,  and  swollen.  A  venous  duplex  ultrasound  documents  acute  occlusive  deep  venous  thrombosis  (DVT)  involving  the  posterior  tibial,  popliteal,  and  femoral  veins.  The  common  femoral  vein  is  patent.  The  patient  has  no  history  of  bleeding  problems.  In  order  to  reduce  the  lifelong  risk  of  the  post-thrombotic  syndrome  (PTS),  percutaneous  endovenous  intervention  is  undertaken.
