Sankesh Mehta: Restoring Venous Patency Through Mechanical Thrombectomy
Sankesh Mehta, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiologist at MGM Healthcare, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“From scald to stride – A case of DVT thrombectomy!
A 64-year-old female, with a recent history of abdominal wall scald injury and limited ambulation, presented with diffuse swelling of the left lower limb.
Doppler sonography revealed extensive left ilio-femoro-popliteal deep venous thrombosis, with CT venography confirming distal extension up to the left common iliac vein.
Mechanical thromb-aspiration was performed through the left popliteal vein approach using Penumbra’s CAT 8 system, resulting in upto 80% clot clearance. The remaining thrombus burden was tackled successfully with anticoagulation.
Follow-up Doppler at 2 weeks showed complete patency of intraluminal flow.
Patient reported marked symptomatic improvement, with reduced swelling and improved mobility.
The best outcome of all was the patient’s smile on review!
