Abstract

Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) has emerged as a prominent treatment option for venous thromboembolism, offering advantages over catheter-directed thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy, such as reduced bleeding risk and faster thrombus resolution. PMT devices operate through three main mechanisms: aspiration to directly extract thrombi, mechanical fragmentation to break thrombi into smaller pieces, and rheolytic disruption using high-pressure saline jets to dislodge and remove thrombi. This review summarizes the modern PMT device landscape, technical specifications, and indications while exploring extended and off-label uses and highlighting its expanding clinical applications.

期刊介绍： The mission of Clinical Imaging is to publish, in a timely manner, the very best radiology research from the United States and around the world with special attention to the impact of medical imaging on patient care. The journal''s publications cover all imaging modalities, radiology issues related to patients, policy and practice improvements, and clinically-oriented imaging physics and informatics. The journal is a valuable resource for practicing radiologists, radiologists-in-training and other clinicians with an interest in imaging. Papers are carefully peer-reviewed and selected by our experienced subject editors who are leading experts spanning the range of imaging sub-specialties, which include: -Body Imaging- Breast Imaging- Cardiothoracic Imaging- Imaging Physics and Informatics- Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine- Musculoskeletal and Emergency Imaging- Neuroradiology- Practice, Policy & Education- Pediatric Imaging- Vascular and Interventional Radiology
