Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the AngioJet™ device in the endovascular treatment of visceral ischemia with stenotic or occlusive lesions.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients treated for visceral artery occlusion with thrombectomy using the AngioJet™ (Boston Scientific, MA, USA). Inclusion criteria: patients with stenotic or occluding lesion in visceral arteries including renal and mesenteric arteries, who received endovascular treatment with AngioJet™.
Results: Eighteen patients with acute and sub-acute visceral arteries occlusions underwent endovascular thrombectomy. In twelve cases the procedure was successful, and the patients were discharged with patent target arteries. Four cases required re-intervention and two cases ended with a fatal complication. The technical and clinical success rate in our study was 88,9% (sixteen out of eighteen), these patients were discharged from hospital with patent target arteries.
Conclusions: The thrombectomy using the AngioJet™ device is an effective and feasible method for the treatment of stenotic or occluding lesions of the visceral arteries with rapid post-interventional clinical improvement and minimal adverse events.
