Ipsilateral popliteal venous the most common access for pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in the treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but the result was not satisfactory. The investigators adjust the access to improve the thrombus clearance rate and reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).
Acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with whole lower limb involved is associated with significant post thrombotic morbidity. Both of deep venous occlusion and valvar reflux increase the risk for development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Early removal of iliofemoral thrombosis by pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) may reduce the incidence of PTS. In general, ipsilateral popliteal venous the most common access for PMT. However, from this approach, it's hard to remove the thrombosis in the distal popliteal vein. So, the investigators hypothesize that the residual thrombus and slow blood-flow in the in-flow may weakened the efficacy of PMT, and by adjusting vein access approach could improve the thrombus clearance rate and reduce the incidence of PTS for whole leg DVT.

After randomization patients will be allocated to pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) via ipsilateral popliteal venous approach or to PMT via distal calf venous approach, bail-out contralateral femoral access can be used if puncture was failed in calf vein. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus was reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) was conducted if there was residual thrombus. Stenosis of iliac vein was assessed by multiangle venography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used if necessary. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) was conducted if there was \>50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein. A stent was placed if the residual stenosis was \>50% after PTA treatment.

Quality of life evaluated by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
Quality of life evaluated by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The change in SF-36 Physical and Mental Component Scales from baseline to 24 months will be compared between the two groups using a t-test. A difference of 5 points on each scale is considered to be clinically relevant. In addition, a linear mixed model analysis of the repeated assessments (3, 6, 12, and 24 months) with baseline scores as a covariate will be used to investigate the changes over time, and if they differ by treatment arm.

European quality of life 5-dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) score
The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.
