Researchers develop machine learning models to predict IVC filter complications
Researchers in Canada have developed machine learning (ML) models that they claim, “can accurately predict one-year IVC [inferior vena cava] filter complications, performing better than logistic regression”. Writing in the Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders (JVS-VL), Ben…
First-in-human study of Pounce thrombectomy system in acute iliofemoral DVT demonstrates 12-month PTS rate of 18%
Twelve-month outcomes from the Pounce venous thrombectomy system (Vetex Medical) first-in-human study evaluating its use in the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) recently published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders (JVS-VL) demonstrated an…
Mechanical thrombectomy demonstrates superior outcomes to anticoagulation in DVT patients, analysis of RCT and registry data shows
Mechanical thrombectomy using the ClotTriever device (Inari Medical) for iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was found to be “associated with significantly” lower Villalta scores and a lower incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) out to 12 months compared with treatment using anticoagulation,…
March’s free-access articles in JVS, JVS-VL
The March issues of the Journal of Vascular Surgery (JVS) and JVS: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders (JVS-VL) include eight articles that will be available via free-access by Feb. 21 (JVS-VL) and Feb. 23 (JVS). The fully accessible peer-review papers are…
Study shows increase in risk of renal failure following lytic therapy for acute DVT
A large, single-centre retrospective study has revealed the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) following pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (PMT) for lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is as high as 22%. This findings add “significant knowledge” to understanding the risks of lytic…
Choosing Wisely: A good start to explaining vascular best practices
Choosing Wisely was initiated by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation to provide recommendations to both patients and physicians about the evaluation and management of common diseases. SVS is participating in this program and the SVS Public and Professional…
