Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of two thrombus thrombectomy devices, AcoStream and AngioJet, in the treatment of acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis (AIFVT).Methods A total of 97 AIFVT patients were treated with different thrombus clearing devices according to their states of illness, and patients were divided into the AcoStream group (41 cases) and the AngioJet group (56 cases). The thrombus clearing status, degree of swelling reduction in affected limb, surgical time and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups, and the need for assisted catheter contact thrombolysis (CDT) treatment, urokinase dosage, iliac vein stent placement, incidence of complications, length of hospital stay and hospitalization costs were also compared between the two groups. Regular follow-up was conducted to record for recurrence of thrombosis, the patency of the stent, deep vein thrombosis syndrome (PTS) and PTS degree were evaluated in lower limbs.Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, affected limb, time of illness, site of illness and causes of illness between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation was successful in both groups and the thrombus removal effect was satisfactory. There were no significant differences in terms of thrombus clearance rate, the degree of swelling reduction in the limb 48 hours after surgery and assisted CDT rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the AcoStream group, the AngioJet group had a longer surgical time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, increased hospitalization costs and higher rates of complications (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of thrombosis between the two groups (P>0.05), and there was no occurrence of iliac vein stent occlusion or PTS in either patients.Conclusion Two mechanical thrombus clearing devices of AcoStream and AngioJet are safe and effective for treating AIFVT.
