Abstract

Pharmacomechanical therapy and catheter-directed thrombolysis are potent treatments for venous thromboembolism. However, limited data exist regarding the management of thrombi in the inferior vena cava (IVC). IVC thrombus resulting from tumors is a particularly uncommon condition. Managing IVC tumor thrombi poses even greater challenges, as conventional therapies such as systemic anticoagulation and thrombolysis are often ineffective. In this report, we present the case of a 73-year-old male with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus successfully managed through aspiration thrombectomy utilizing the Inari FlowTriever system.
