Pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) in adults is a rare condition. This retrospective review of all cases of adult-onset PAS from 1990 to 2013 indicates that endovascular treatment appears safe and effective for symptom relief.
We describe a novel combined technique of percutaneous aspiration of unstable right atrial thrombus followed by ultrasound-directed thrombolysis of massive pulmonary embolism.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of second-generation (2G) devices in comparison to first-generation (1G) devices with regard to procedural and short-term clinical outcomes.
The optimal therapy for thrombi-in-transit remains controversial. We report our experience using percutaneous removal of right heart thrombus using vacuum aspiration.
The “single-operator” technique allows successful RA without a skilled assistant to maintain wire position during advancement of the burr; the absence of an assistant should therefore not eliminate the performance of RA.
