The morbidity associated with PTS may be significant and patients can present with edema, chronic pain, swelling, skin changes, and heaviness of the affected limb. PTS can eventually lead to a decreased quality of life and to a marked burden for the healthcare system. This article elaborates on clinical aspects of PTS including the pathophysiology, diagnostic work-up and management of the disease with a particular focus on endovascular options.
