Abstract | Background: While large-bore mechanical thrombectomy provides effective venous thrombus removal, often with avoidance of thrombolytics, literature surrounding the application of these devices in pediatric patients is sparse. Objective: To report technical success and outcomes following large-bore thrombectomy systems in adolescent patients with deep venous thrombosis. Materials and methods: A retrospective review identified all patients less than 18 years of age undergoing mechanical venous thrombectomy at a single institution between 2018 and 2022. No patients were excluded. Technical success was defined as extraction of thrombus sufficient to restore unimpeded flow in affected segments. Clinical success was defined as resolution of presenting symptoms. Results: Nine consecutive patients (6 females, 3 males; age range 15-17 years) underwent 10 thrombectomy procedures using ClotTriever (n=6; 60%), FlowTriever (n=2; 20%), or both (n=2; 20%). Chronicity of thrombus was categorized as acute (<2 weeks) in 6 (60%), subacute (2-6 weeks) in 1 (10%), and chronic (>6 weeks) in 3 (30%). Distribution of thrombus was lower extremity and/or inferior vena cava (IVC) in 9 (90%) and unilateral axillo-subclavian in 1 (10%). Technical success was achieved in 9 interventions (90%). Clinical success was achieved in 8 patients (88.9%). No patients received thrombolytics. There were no intraprocedural adverse events (AE). Minor complications (Society of Interventional Radiology mild adverse events) were observed in a delayed fashion following 2 interventions (20%). Conclusions: This preliminary experience demonstrated high rates of technical and clinical success with large-bore deep venous thrombectomy in adolescent patients across a range of thrombus chronicity and locations. |
