II. Defintions
- Imaging-Guided minimally invasive procedures
III. Procedures: Venous
- Central Venous Access (venous catheters and subcutaneous ports)
- Fluoroscopy or Ultrasound guided
-
Varicose Veins
- Endovenous laser or radiofrequency ablation are effective alternatives to surgical intervention
-

- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis may be considered in severe, extensive DVT
- Unclear if prevents significant Post-Thrombotic Syndrome
- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis may be considered in severe, extensive DVT
-
Pulmonary Embolism
- Catheter-directed Thrombolysis in Massive Pulmonary Embolism
-
Venous Thromboembolism with Anticoagulation contraindicated or refractory

IV. Procedures: Arterial
-
Claudication (Peripheral Arterial Disease)
- Surgical revascularization is preferred in medication-refractory Peripheral Arterial Disease
