Summary
Vascular thrombosis after large-bore device removal is a rare complication. Early detection with angiography and minimally invasive mechanical thrombectomy can effectively treat iliac artery thrombosis, avoiding surgery.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Large-bore device removal can lead to rare but critical vascular thrombosis.
- Mechanical circulatory support use is increasing, necessitating safe device removal protocols.
- Limited protocols for safe closure after percutaneous left ventricular assist device removal exist.

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care
271
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care
293
Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
