Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical safety and effectiveness of percutaneous rheolytic thrombectomy in patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. Method Sixty-eight consecutive patients with acute massive lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were included in this retrospective study. A percutaneous rheolytic thrombectomy device (Angiojet ® Rheolytic thrombectomy catheter, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) was used in all patients in an angiography suite through ipsilateral popliteal vein access. Thrombus clearance and complications were evaluated. Furthermore, patients underwent a clinical evaluation according to a modified Villalta scale for the investigation of post thrombotic syndrome in follow-up. The Venous Clinical Severity Score, Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study-Quality of Life/Sym questionnaires were completed preoperatively and readministered postoperatively. Results Overall thrombus clearance (complete recanalization was achieved in 58 patients (85.2%) and partial recanalization was achieved in 7 patients (10.2%) confirmed through venographic assessment was achieved in 95.5% of the patient population. The mean Venous Clinical Severity Score preoperatively was 13.1 ± 2.2 ...Continue Reading
