Limb ischemia and pulmonary embolism are devastating complications of deep vein thrombosis. Catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) and pharmacomechanical thrombolysis are effective treatments, however thrombolytics in these procedures increase the risk of bleeding. Moreover, they lengthen hospital stays and have many contraindications. The Inari ClotTriever is an innovative device for percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy. We present a case of an ileofemoral DVT with extension to the inferior vena cava removed without thrombolytics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
