Compative Study of PE in Thrombosed AVF After Balloon Thrombectomy Vs. Thromboaspiration.

A specialized catheter with an inflatable balloon at the tip is inserted over a guidewire, previously inserted through the sheath, and advanced to the location of the clot within the blood vessel. The catheter is positioned precisely using fluoroscopic guidance or other imaging modalities. Once positioned, the balloon is inflated, creating pressure against the clot and effectively removing or dislodging it from the vessel walls.

The thromboaspiration catheter is carefully guided to the site of the clot within the blood vessel. Once positioned, the suction mechanism is activated, creating a vacuum effect. The catheter gently aspirates or suctions the clot, gradually removing it from the vessel walls. The procedure is performed under fluoroscopic guidance or other imaging modalities to ensure accurate placement of the catheter and successful clot aspiration.
