Abstract
adjunctive use of endovascular maneuvers other than PMT and CDT were recorded. Duration of thrombolysis (hours), total amount of administered t-PA (mg) and length of hospital stay (days) were statistically compared using the Wilcoxon RankedSum test, and the presence of grade III thrombus clearance at completion of endovascular therapy was statistically compared using the Fisher Exact test. A P value o 0.05 indicated a statistically significant difference. Results: Compared to CDT alone, use of the Trellis PMT þ CDT resulted in a greater degree of Grade III thrombus clearance (7/8 vs. 10/27, Po0.05) at completion of endovascular therapy. There were no statistically significant differences in length of hospital stay (P40.05), duration of thrombolysis (P40.05) or amount of administered tPA (P40.05) between the two treatment groups. Conclusion: Compared to CDT alone, Trellis PMT þ CDT improves the degree of thrombus clearance in patients with acute upper extremity DVT.
