Aspiration thrombectomy for inferior vena cava tumor thrombus arising from hepatocellular carcinoma

Pharmacomechanical therapy and catheter-directed thrombolysis have been shown to be very effective in the treatment of venous thromboembolism; however, there is much less data regarding inferior vena cava thrombi. Tumor thrombi pose an even greater clinical challenge as anti-coagulation and thrombol...

Description
Summary:Pharmacomechanical therapy and catheter-directed thrombolysis have been shown to be very effective in the treatment of venous thromboembolism; however, there is much less data regarding inferior vena cava thrombi. Tumor thrombi pose an even greater clinical challenge as anti-coagulation and thrombolysis are not effective. We present the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with an inferior vena cava thrombus emanating from an accessory right hepatic vein, treated with aspiration thrombectomy.
