Summary: Interventional procedures are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of impaired patency of deep venous
system caused most often by extensive phlebothrombosis. Restoration of patency to affected venous segments while
preserving the valvular function with a high degree of success in a relatively short period of time can be achieved
by combination of endovascular methods such as catheter guided thrombolysis followed by percutanenous transluminal
angioplasty and stenting. This approach enables not only the resolution of acute vascular complications but
also the prevention of postthrombotic syndrome. This case report of a 52-year-old man with retroperitoneal fibrosis
causing chronic compression of vena cava inferior further complicated by travelling associated bilateral ileofemoral
thrombosis clearly demonstrates the wide ranging applications of the endovascular techniques.
