Endovenous Treatment for Acute Massive Pulmonary Thromboembolism #MMPMID29515693
Ann Vasc Dis 2017[Dec]; 10 (4): 338-44 PMID29515693show ga
Treatment for venous thromboembolic conditions differs significantly depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic. Endovenous treatment is now available for treating the most severe cases of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism, and the goal is rapid central clot removal to relieve life-threatening pulmonary circulation. Endovenous catheter interventions include catheter-directed thrombolysis and catheter-assisted thrombus removal. The latter is divided into aspiration thrombectomy, fragmentation, and rheolytic thrombectomy. Data from cohort studies indicate that the clinical outcome and safety after open surgical treatment and endovenous treatment may be comparable. This paper reviews the current approaches to endovenous treatment for acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism, and presents our study of hybrid treatment using a combination of local fibrinolysis, mechanical fragmentation, and clot aspiration.
