Abstract
Paget-Schroetter syndrome, also known as venous thoracic outlet syndrome, is primarily an effort-induced thrombosis of the subclavian and axillary veins. Treatment modalities involve systemic anticoagulation, catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), and surgical decompression. Early endovascular intervention is noted to improve outcomes and result in symptomatic relief. Here we implore the usage of the novel mechanical aspiration thrombectomy device as an adjunct to CDT for the management of peripheral venous thrombosis and highlight it as a treatment option resulting in substantial radiological and symptomatic improvement.Entities:
