Abstract：Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the most common chronic complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that significantly impairs quality of life. Surgical treatment of moderate-to-severe PTS could have the potential to be effective when conservative and medical treatments have failed. Conventional valve reconstruction and venous bypass were effective to improve quality of life, while endovascular treatment or with endophlebectory become preferred with the development of endovascular technologies and the perception of proximal DVT in development of PTS. To date, however, there have been no methodologically robust comparative trails that have addressed the effectiveness of different surgical treatments at improving quality of life. Further research is needed to provide the reference and instruction for individualized treatment of patients with PTS.
