Follow-up included clinical exanimation and ultrasound. Thirty patients (36 interventions), mean age 41.3 years (range 19\u201371 years), 56.6% women (17\/30), completed the surveys.

Successful ultrasound-accelerated, catheter-directed thrombolysis was followed by stent angioplasty in 58.3% (21\/36) procedures. Overall complication rate was 19.44%, mainly formed by minor bleedings. Mean follow-up was 38.5 months. The primary patency rate was 63.8%, the assisted-primary and the secondary patency rate were 80.5%.
