Tiefe Venenthrombose (TVT)

Mechanical thrombectomy for DVT uses catheter-based devices to physically remove blood clots from deep veins without relying solely on thrombolytic drugs. Techniques include rotational disruption, aspiration, and pharmacomechanical approaches.

An IVC filter is indicated when DVT patients cannot receive anticoagulation (active bleeding, recent surgery) or when anticoagulation fails. Retrievable filters can be removed once the contraindication resolves.

CDT delivers thrombolytic drugs directly into the DVT clot through a multi-sidehole catheter. This achieves higher local drug concentration with lower systemic dose, reducing bleeding risk.
