Percutaneous rheolytic thrombectomy and cerebral embolic protection in a massive thrombosis of a fenestrated Fontan conduit: a case report.
Raffaella MarzulloAlessandro CapestroAndi MuçajTommaso PivaPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
Rheolytic thrombectomy may be a successful alternative to systemic thrombolytic therapy and open surgical resection for the treatment of acute high-risk pulmonary embolism in the Fontan population. Embolic protection device to capture and remove thrombus/debris may be an innovative tool to reduce the risk of stroke through the fenestration while performing a percutaneous procedure in fenestrated Fontan patient.
