ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the present study was to report a large, single-center experience using the ClotTriever thrombectomy system (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) for the management of acute iliofemoral (IF) deep vein thrombosis (DVT). One limitation of all endovascular devices for the treatment of acute IF-DVT has been the inability to completely remove all acute thrombus and the need for adjunctive thrombolysis with its attendant risk of bleeding complications.METHODS:
A single-center retrospective review of consecutive patients with acute IF-DVT treated with the ClotTriever thrombectomy system (Inari Medical) is reported. Procedural efficacy was evaluated by an independent core imaging laboratory (Syntactx, New York, NY). Both procedural and in-hospital safety were assessed during the index hospitalization. The treated vein patency was assessed using duplex ultrasound at 30 days after the procedure.RESULTS:
A total of 96 patients were included in the present retrospective review, 40 of whom (40%) had contraindications to thrombolytic therapy. In terms of efficacy, 93 patients (97%) had ≥75% thrombus removal. During the index hospitalization, two patients (2%) had experienced a symptomatic pulmonary embolus. However, no mortality, major bleeding, or device-related complications had occurred in the study population. Of the 96 patients, 64 had undergone duplex ultrasound at 30 days after the procedure. Of the 64 patients, 62 had normal flow (97%), 53 (83%) had normal compressibility, and 11 (17%) had partial compressibility.CONCLUSIONS:
The ClotTriever thrombectomy catheter was both safe and effective in our cohort of patients with acute IF-DVT outside a randomized clinical trial.Palavras-chave
