Successful mechanical thrombectomy of an intermediate-high risk acute pulmonary embolism using the Alpha Vac aspiration catheter
Large-bore aspiration thrombectomy is emerging as a promising alternative for thrombus removal in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). In this article, we report a successful case with the newly approved AlphaVac F1885 device in a 76-year-old patient presenting with an intermediate- to high-risk acute PE. Preoperative imaging demonstrated bilateral PE with a modified miller index of 30 and an right ventricle-to-left ventricle ratio of 2.1. Mechanical thrombectomy was performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. The pulmonary artery pressures decreased from 85/27 to 46/13 immediately after thrombectomy. The postoperative course was notable for marked symptom improvement and repeat imaging showed a 63% decrease in clot burden with a decrease in right ventricle-to-left ventricle ratio to 1.3.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
