Single-Session Thrombolysis-Free Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis With a Novel Mechanical Thrombectomy Device.

ABSTRACT: Catheter-directed thrombolysis of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) carries an increased risk of major bleeding and may fail to rapidly remove thrombus or prevent post-thrombotic syndrome. We describe an alternative, thrombolysis-free, advanced DVT treatment strategy with rapid single-session percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using the ClotTriever system. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
