Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy is commonly used to treat acute thrombotic syndromes. AngioJet (AJ) forcibly sprays fibrinolytics to fragment and aspirate thrombus. It is known to cause hemolysis and gross hematuria, yet potential consequences to renal function after AJ remain unstudied. We sought to determine the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after AJ when compared with other lysis techniques. METHODS AND RESULTS:We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with thrombolysis over 5 years. We identified those treated with AJ or catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT). Demographics, indications, procedures, and laboratory values within 3 days were recorded. AKI was defined as an increase >25% above the baseline creatinine within 72 hr of the procedure. IN total, 102 patients (52 AJ, 50 CDT) had no statistical difference in mean age (50 and 51), indication (arterial thrombosis 65% and 88%), or baseline creatinine (0.9 and 1.0 mg/dL), respectively. AKI occurred in 15 (29%) patients treated with AJ versus 4 (8%) of CDT (P = 0.007). Similar numbers of AJ and CDT patients underwent additional open surgical procedures (21% and 30%, respectively, P = not significant). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the odds of AKI were only increased by AJ (odds ratio [OR] 8.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.98-34.17, P = 0.004), open surgery (OR 5.4, 95% CI 1.43-20.17, P = 0.013), or a >10% drop in hematocrit (OR 4.0, 95% CI 1.15-14.25, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS:In our observational study, AJ is an independent risk factor for AKI. Concomitant open surgery and drop in hematocrit also raise the odds of AKI. Renal injury after AJ is under-reported in the literature, and may be related to hemolysis from the device.
