Abstract: | PurposeTo assess technical feasibility and safety of portal vein thrombectomy with suction thrombectomy using a large-bore thrombectomy device for portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT).Materials and MethodsAfter receiving approval from institutional review board, patients undergoing PMVT treatment using a large-bore aspiration thrombectomy device (Inari FlowTriever or ClotTriever) between July 2019 and June 2021 were identified at 2 medical centers. Charts were reviewed for demographic information, imaging findings, and procedural details. PMVT was categorized using the Yerdel grading system. The thrombectomy procedure was performed via transjugular access through the existing or a new transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) or transsplenic or transhepatic approach. Technical success was defined as successful clot reduction and restoration of portal venous flow at the conclusion of the procedure. Patient outcomes based on clinical presentation, adverse events, and thrombectomy-associated adverse events were recorded.ResultsTwenty patients, with a median age of 58 years (range, 23–72 years), underwent large-bore aspiration thrombectomy, which was technically successful in 19 of 20 (95%) patients. In 9 of 20 (45%) patients, 9 of 20 (45%) patients, and 2 of 20 (10%) patients, the 20-F, 16-F, and 24-F devices were used, respectively. Fourteen patients had a pre-existing TIPS, and 6 patients had a TIPS created. In 5 of 20 (25%) patients, overnight lysis was performed in conjunction with Inari thrombectomy. Thrombus resolution with restoration of flow was achieved in 19 of 20 (95%) cases. There were no thrombectomy-associated adverse events. The mean follow-up time was 70 days (±113) at which time primary patency of the portal venous system was present in 16 of 20 (80%) patients.ConclusionsLarge-bore aspiration portal vein thrombectomy is feasible for PMVT. |
