{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To analysis the clinical efficacy of Angiojet percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) combined with Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (CDT) compared to CDT in treatment of subacute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (IFDVT) in elderly patients.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 117 elderly patients hospitalized for subacute IFDVT was conducted. The patients'basic perioperative data and 2-years follow-up data were compared.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Group A (PMT + CDT) had a more patients reaching Grade III thrombus clearance, and a lower thrombolysis time, dosage of thrombolytic drugs, hospital stay, and bleeding incidence compared to Group B (CDT). There was a statistically significant difference in the occurrence rate of severe PTS within 2 years (p < 0.05).<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>In treating elderly patients with subacute IFDVT, PMT + CDT effectively reduces the thrombus burden and the dosage of thrombolytic drugs, shortens the hospital stay, and importantly, reduces the occurrence rate of severe PTS within 2 years.
