Abstract:
We report the case of a woman with nephrotic syndrome suffering from large thrombi at the proximal Inferior Vena Cava (IVC). A percutaneous thrombectomy on the worsening IVC thrombi following optimal anticoagulant therapy was performed. Temporary IVC filter placement and subsequent direct thrombectomy via an 8 Fr angled sheath (inner lumen area = 6.51 mm2) within a 10 Fr sheath were useful, although an 8 Fr guiding catheter (inner lumen area = 4.19 mm2) was ineffective. To aspirate the large thrombus burden, a catheter with a large lumen size, such as an 8 Fr sheath, was necessary.
