Comparison Of Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy With Different Access in Treatment of Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis

The modified approach includes the ipsilateral calf venous access and the contralateral femoral venous access. Through contralateral femoral venous access, a hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be crossover through the thrombus side to the distal calf vein. The ipsilateral calf venous access will be punctured under the guidance of ascending venography. A hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be used to pass through the thrombus antegrade to the inferior vena cava. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) catheter will be used to clear the thrombus. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus will be reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) will be conducted if there is residual thrombus. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stenting will be conducted if there is \>50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein.

The traditional approach will be punctured from the ipsilateral popliteal vein under ultrasound guidance. A hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be used to pass through the thrombus antegrade to the inferior vena cava. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) catheter will be used to clear the thrombus. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus will be reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) will be conducted if there is residual thrombus. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stenting will be conducted if there is \>50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein.
