A Multicenter, Retrospective Study of the Effectiveness of the Trellis-8 System in the Treatment of Proximal Lower-Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs in up to 600,000 patients in the United States annually and can lead to long-term morbidity because of the post-thrombotic syndrome. The multicenter isolated-pharmacomechanical thrombolysis device (ISOL-8) study was designed to determine the safety and efficacy of the Trellis™-8 peripheral infusion system when used as the primary intervention to achieve DVT thrombolysis in patients with proximal lower-extremity occlusive DVT, and track the incidence and severity of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) symptoms in patients 2 years after treatment. METHODS:Data were collected retrospectively from 6 centers on patients treated with the Trellis-8 system, an isolated-pharmacomechanical thrombolysis device (IPMTD). Patients with occlusive lower-extremity DVT involving at least the iliac and/or common femoral vein were included. Patient demographics, medical history, procedure outcomes, complications, and follow-up venous duplex and Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) were collected through 24 months. Data analysis of outcomes were performed at 1 and 12 months. A 24-month analysis was not performed because of the small number of patients for whom 24-month data could be collected. RESULTS:A total of 151 limbs in 139 patients were treated with IPMTD. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) procedure time was 122.6 ± 63.4 min. Single session treatment was delivered in 69.9% (93 of 133) of cases. Occlusive DVT extended from the femoral into the external and/or common iliac vessel segments in most of the cases (113 of 151 limbs; 74.8%). Before treatment, 23.2% (35 of 151) of the treated limbs, based on a history of prior ipsilateral DVT or preoperative imaging revealing chronic venous scar, were expected to have some chronic venous disease despite presenting with acute symptoms. After treatment, 43.7% (66 of 151) of the limbs showed evidence of chronic thrombus. The average amount (mean ± SD) of thrombolysis, as determined by venogram, was highest in patients who had acute thrombus (81 ± 19.7%), compared with subacute thrombus (61 ± 22.5%) and complex cases involving acute and/or subacute thrombus on chronic scar (56 ± 26.5%). VCSS scoring showed the number of patients with none and/or mild pain, varicose veins, and skin changes at 1-month remained stable at 12 months whereas the percent of patients with none and/or mild venous edema improved from 71.7% at 1 month (38 of 53) to 86.8% (46 of 53) at 12 months. Twenty-four-month follow-up data were available for only 15% (23 of 151) of patients. No clinically significant pulmonary emboli or major periprocedural bleeding events were reported. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with acute lower-extremity DVT involving the proximal veins can be safely and successfully treated with IPMTD. Major procedural bleeding was absent. The occurrence of severe PTS after primary treatment with Trellis-8 system IPMTD is low. Further long-term follow-up data are needed to confirm the benefit of intervention for thrombus removal compared with standard medical management.
