DETECT-DVT: Detroit Evaluation of Thrombectomy and Evaluation of Intravascular Ultrasound in Deep Vein Thrombosis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background: We sought to evaluate the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in a community hospital setting. Methods: Data were analyzed among patients with lower extremity DVT who underwent MT from December 1, 2021 to December 1, 2022. Results: < .001). Conclusions: MT is shown to be successful in restoring venous flow and is utilized by multiple specialties in the treatment of DVT. Additionally, IVUS was widely used in conjunction with MT, and it was associated with increased advanced interventions, such as venoplasty and stent placement.
