TLDR
Vacuum-assisted thrombectomy using the AngioVac system is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical thROMbectomy for chronic VTE management and the use of this device in iliocaval thromBosis appears to be safe and effective compared to other anatomical locations.

AngioVac for extraction of venous thromboses and endocardial vegetations: A meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis is performed on the results of AngioVac for treating venous thromboses and endocardial vegetations and concludes that the device should be used for filtering intravascular thrombi and emboli.

Technical success and short-term outcomes after treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis with the ClotTriever system: A preliminary experience.

TL;DR: This novel percutaneous venous thrombectomy system is safe and effective for removing large volumes of lower extremity acute thrombus in a single session, without the need for lytic therapy, intensive care unit admission, or repeat intervention.

Endovascular Removal of Thrombus and Right Heart Masses Using the AngioVac System: Results of 234 Patients from the Prospective, Multicenter Registry of AngioVac Procedures in Detail (RAPID).

TL;DR: The Registry of AngioVac Procedures in Detail (RAPID) study as discussed by the authors collected data for 234 patients receiving treatment with Angio-Vac at 21 sites between March 2016 and August 2019: 84 (35.9%) with caval thromboemboli (CTEs), 113 (48.3%), right heart masses (RHMs), 20 (8.5%), and 4 (1.7%) with pulmonary emboli (PEs).

Percutaneous vacuum assisted thrombectomy using AngioVac aspiration system

TL;DR: The AngioVac aspiration system has been shown to be effective at aspirating large volumes of intravascular and intracardiac thrombus and is a reasonable alternative to surgical thrombectomy in patients with large central thrombi or masses in-transit who are at risk of complicated PE.

Technical Aspects of Using the AngioVac System for Thrombus Aspiration From the Ascending Aorta.

TL;DR: The use of the AngioVac System seems to be a feasible technique for aspiration of thrombus from the ascending aorta and expanding this therapeutic option for patients unsuitable for open or endovascular repair may be proven efficient in the near future.

Trends in the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a 25-year population-based study.

TL;DR: The incidence of pulmonary embolism has decreased over time, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis remains unchanged for men and is increasing for older women, and the need for more accurate identification of patients at risk for venous thromboembolism is emphasized.

Determinants and Time Course of the Postthrombotic Syndrome after Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis

TL;DR: The postthrombotic syndrome occurs frequently after acute venous thrombosis, and patients with extensive DVT and those with more severe postthROMbotic manifestations 1 month after DVT have poorer long-term outcomes.
