Safety and Efficacy of Thrombolysis in Combination With Endhole Aspiration in the Treatment of Acute DVT

An interventional study of Thrombolysis in combination with endhole aspiration in Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis, sponsored by University of Kansas Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-22.

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of thrombolysis in combination with endhole aspiration in the treatment of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Secondarily, the study team hope to illuminate the financial implications of single session catheter directed therapy versus a potential 48 hour lysis procedure (Lysis is an approach in which vascular specialists deliver clot-dissolving drugs directly to the site of the clot through a catheter).

    Treatment

    The treatment protocol the study team will be following is as follows for all enrolled patients. First, a pulse spray tPA infusion with 20 cc of 8 mg tPA and saline will be administered to the thrombus with a 20-minute dwell time. Afterwards, an 8F curved sheath (Indigo 8 Torq Tip, ranges 85 to 115 cm) with CAT8 penumbra device will be used to aspirate the thrombus. If the operating physician deems necessary, they will have the option at that point to balloon plasty, stent, or use catheter-directed thrombolysis at this point. Clinical parameters such as areas of clinically-significant stenosis, extent of thrombus, (more parameters) will be tracked at the time of the procedure. The device is being used is FDA approved and being used according to FDA indications.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Post-thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) severity using the Villalta score

    Patient outcomes will be measured through clinical grading of PTS severity using the Villalta score, a clinical measure for the post-thrombotic syndrome that grades the severity, from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe), of each of 5 patient-rated symptoms (pain, cramps, heaviness, pruritus, and paresthesia) and 6 clinician-rated clinical signs (edema, redness, skin induration, hyperpigmentation, venous ectasia, and pain of calf). A summative score of 5 or more on the Villalta scale indicates the presence of the postthrombotic syndrome (Villalta).

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 22, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
