Comparative outcomes of pharmacomechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis with balloon maceration for thrombosed native arteriovenous fistulas: A single-center study
In thrombosed native AVFs, pharmacomechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis with balloon maceration provide similar safety profiles and long-term patency outcomes. Patency and reintervention are primarily influenced by thrombus load, access anatomy, and patient-related factors rather than device selection, supporting a lesion-oriented and individualized endovascular treatment strategy.
