Treatment modalities are well described and range from hysterectomy and thrombectomy to the use of vena cava filters in combination with anticoagulation and antibiotics. Defervescence with a combination infusion of tissue plasminogen and heparin were used. This treatment approach has been found particularly successful in cases of ilio-femoral, hepatic, renal and vena caval thromboses. ER -
