Percutaneous endovascular vacuum assisted removal of intracardiac lesions using the AngioVac system: A real-world experience.

The AngioVac© system (AngioDynamics, Latham, NY, USA) is a percutaneous catheter-based approach indicated for the removal of unwanted intravascular material from venous circulation and offers a safe alternative to conventional surgical extraction. This series describes various pathologies that were high risk for surgical management in which AngioVac© proved to be a suitable alternative. Learning objectives: Demonstrate the utility of minimally invasive techniques for removal of unwanted venous material using percutaneous endovascular vacuum assisted aspiration. Formulate a new treatment algorithm in the management of unwanted right-sided material.
