Large-bore Aspiration Thrombectomy for Acute Venous Thromboembolism
View through CrossRef
Pulmonary embolism can occur following dislodgement of deep venous thrombosis into the pulmonary artery circulation, which results in obstruction of the pulmonary artery system and can be fatal. The consequences of pulmonary embolism include hypotension, right heart strain, and hypoxia. In the long term, pulmonary embolism may lead to Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH). Patients who develop hypotensive massive and submassive pulmonary embolism can be treated with large-bore aspiration thrombectomy. In the acute setting, this improves short-term outcomes by decreasing the ICU stay. It can also reduce the risk of CTEPH. Options for large-bore aspiration thrombectomy include the FlowTriever™ system (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) and the Lightning 12 vascular thrombectomy system (Penumbra Inc., Alameda, CA). This review discusses the pathophysiology of pulmonary embolism, management, and options for large-bore aspiration thrombectomy.
