Novel thrombectomy system for VTE used successfully in first tranche of first-in-human cases
SonoVascular has announced the successful completion of an initial set of eight deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases using its SonoThrombectomy system as part of a first-in-human (FIH) study of the device. All cases achieved a complete Marder score reduction as…
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…
Research suggests potential link between strenuous physical activity and increased VTE risk in men
Published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, new research with a follow-up of 27 years has found an association between high levels of physical activity (PA) and an elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The research, led by Per…

This advertorial is sponsored by Inari Medical. For patients with in-stent thrombosis (IST), one of the most critical unmet needs has been an effective method to remove acute-to-chronic material. Here, Rishi Roy, MD, a vascular surgeon at Advanced Vascular &…
Child-bearing age ‘should not be a contraindication to venous stenting’
In a recently published study, dedicated venous stents performed well through pregnancy and postpartum, and a protocol including the use of low-dose antiplatelets in combination with anticoagulation at either a prophylactic or therapeutic dose depending on the patient’s risk profile…
Study finds similar rates of VTE in both flying and non-flying surgical patients
Uncertainty underlying the magnitude of risk posed by long distance air travel in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients has created the need for a deeper, systematic dive into the guidelines and resources providers should be turning to when managing their pre-flight…
New study demonstrates IVC filters ‘safe and effective’ in treating venous thromboembolism
Few adverse events are connected to the use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters to help prevent deep vein blood clots from developing into pulmonary embolisms (PE), according to the findings of the Predicting the safety and effectiveness of inferior…
Key differences in presentation, outcomes for distal versus proximal DVT uncovered
A new study highlights key differences in clinical features and comorbidities, as well as short-term and also long-term outcomes for patients with distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) versus proximal DVT. The findings were recently published in JAMA Cardiology. The differences…
Compression duration affects pain during superficial venous intervention, study finds
Postprocedural compression of one to two weeks after superficial venous incompetence (SVI) treatment is associated with reduced pain compared with a shorter duration. This is according to a study published in the August edition of the British Journal of Surgery…
CLTI, VTE and post-thrombotic syndrome: Leading experts discuss crucial decision-making in interventional approaches
This advertorial is sponsored by ACHL. For Anahita Dua, MBChB, the stark realities and complexities of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients undergoing endovascular treatment for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) coalesce into one important truth: the necessity of entering the operating…
