A system of coaxial catheters is pushed inside the arterial circulation, usually through a percutaneous access to the right femoral artery. A microcatheter is finally positioned beyond the occluded segment and a stent-retriever is deployed to catch the thrombus; finally, the stent is pulled out from the artery, usually under continuous ...
Left atrial appendage thrombus and evaluation, follow up, and insertion of a left atrial appendage occlusion device; Evaluation for patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect after a stroke, and insertion of a PFO/ASD plug; Monitoring during a procedure to cross the interatrial septum safely without poking the needle through an undesired ...
The traditional treatment for thrombosis is the same as for a lower extremity DVT, and involves systemic anticoagulation to prevent a pulmonary embolus. [10] Some have also recommended thrombolysis with catheter directed alteplase or mechanical thrombectomy with a large bore catheter and manual aspiration providing definitive intervention with an endovascular approach. [11]
Rodbard and Wagner connected the right atrial appendage to the right pulmonary artery in an early report on this surgical technique. [16] Carlon et al reported the first superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis between the right pulmonary artery and azygos vein, demonstrated an increase in pulmonary blood flow in dogs. [ 17 ]
ATE is usually caused by atherosclerosis, which leads to plaque rupture and thrombus formation, or by cardioembolism, which results from the embolization of a cardiac thrombus, such as in atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, or myocardial dysfunction. The management of ATE depends on the location and severity of the ischemia and the ...

PTEs and pulmonary thrombectomies are both operations that removed thrombus from the lung's arterial vasculature. Aside from this similarity they differ in many ways. PTEs are done on a nonemergency basis while pulmonary thrombectomies are typically done as an emergency procedure. PTEs typically are done using hypothermia and full circulatory ...
