description Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a medical emergency that can lead to venous gangrene of the lower extremity. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is crucial for limb salvage. There are two treatment options (endovascular or surgical). In the endovascular era, catheter-directed thrombolysis is the treatment of choice to achieve venous outflow. However, surgical thrombectomy is indicated in certain cases. The authors report successful surgical thrombectomy in a 75-year-old man with PCD and review the treatment of PCD.
