Objective To evaluate AngioJet in
patients treated for acute
deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by
mechanical aspiration thrombectomy combined with
catheter -directed thrombolysis (CDT).
Methods A retrospective
analysis of 83 acute DVT
patients treated by
mechanical aspiration thrombectomy combined with CDT from Dec 2014 to Oct 2018 in the Third
Hospital of Hebei Medical
University was conducted.Results 43 cases (routine group) were treated by
mechanical aspiration thrombectomy using a large-caliber
catheter combined with CDT,and 40 cases (AngioJet group) were treated by AngioJet
aspiration thrombectomy combined with CDT(P > 0.05).
Thrombosis was completely dissolved in 28 cases in AngioJet group while in 10 cases in large-caliber
catheter group.Venous damage rate was higher (38 cases vs.13 cases) in routine group.Conclusion AngioJet combined with CDT can effectively and
safety remove
thrombus in the
lower extremity deep venous system.
