Figure 1. Photographs of patient’s lower extremities in prone position before (A) and after thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and stenting of left iliac vein (B). Note the swelling and skin discolorations over the left calf (reddish alternating with bluish colored areas, blue arrows) due to obstructed venous return and resulting decreased in arterial inflow, representing impeding development of phlegmasia cerulea dolens, when compared to the right leg (green arrows). Complete resolution of the above physical examination findings (red arrows) after left iliac venous endovascular revascularization procedures via left popliteal venous access (black arrow).
