The Cleaner thrombectomy device was used. The resolution of thrombi was examined and graded. Development of post-thrombotic syndrome was assessed with Villalta scores.Results75 patients (91.4%) had complete thrombus resolution. Between 50-99% resolution was noted in 6 patients (7.4%) and in one (1.2%) case less than %50 thrombus resolution was obtained. Seventy-five patients (91%) of the cohort could be treated in a single session; 7 patients (8.6%) required reintervention(s). Although improved post-thrombotic syndrome rates were lower at the short term, Villalta scores gradually increased during follow up.ConclusionsIn conclusion, Pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis with Cleaner thrombectomy device is a safe and beneficial method for the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. Long term follow up data of large volume multicenter studies are warranted.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDeep Vein ThrombosisPharmaco-Mechanical ThrombolysisPost-Thrombotic SyndromeArticle36211912610.1177/0268355520966880Q4Q2
