A 76-year-old female presented to the emergency room with left leg swelling and pain.An ultrasound was performed which revealed clot extending from the common femoral vein down to the popliteal vein.A thrombectomy was performed with the inari clottriever (ct) system.The patient was placed prone, and access was obtained using ultrasound.Wire positioning was achieved, and the 13 fr clottriever sheath was inserted in the popliteal vein.A ct catheter was used to perform 8 passes which yielded acute clot.Imaging was performed after this which revealed a duplicate femoral vein system and clot in an aneurysmal segment in the proximal iliac.A ct bold was then used to perform 2 passes which yielded a small amount of clot.Another venogram was performed which showed clots remaining in the aneurysmal segment in the proximal iliac.The sheath was exchanged for a 16 fr ct sheath and a ctxl was inserted.Resistance was noted when the tip of the ctxl was at the confluence of the inferior vena cava.The decision was made to remove ctxl undeployed, but resistance was again noted during removal.A venogram was performed which revealed extravasation in the duplicate femoral vein.A 7 mm viabahn stent was placed at the point of extravasation and the final venogram showed no signs of extravasation with brisk outflow noted.
