Eslam Youssef: Rapid Revascularization for Iliofemoral DVT

Eslam Youssef, Vascular Surgeon at Aster Hospitals UAE, shared on LinkedIn:

”Rapid Revascularization for Iliofemoral DVT

Acute extensive iliofemoral DVT demands a definitive solution.

The Case: Complete occlusion of the right iliac and femoral veins.

The Procedure:

1. Transpopliteal Access for direct control.
2. Mechanical Thrombectomy using the Penumbra 16 catheter for rapid clot aspiration.
3. Adjunctive Balloon Angioplasty to address underlying venous stenoses and ensure a durable result.

The Outcome: Immediate restoration of flow, resolution of symptoms, and a significant reduction in the risk of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome.

A powerful, minimally invasive approach that changes the patient’s trajectory.”
