Vetex Medical Ltd. today announced positive one-year results from a European clinical study of patients with iliofemoral vein thrombus that demonstrated that the ReVene® Thrombectomy Catheter significantly improved their symptoms and quality of life, while reducing their leg swelling. Results were presented today at VENOUS 2021, the annual meeting of the American Venous Forum, by principal investigator Stephen A. Black, MD, Consultant Vascular Surgeon, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Professor of Venous Surgery, Kings College Hospital, London.
ReVene uses dual-action technology designed to de-clot peripheral vessels through wall-to-wall contact in a single session with or without the use of thrombolytics.
“In this study, we saw a very low rate of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome at 12 months, with all patients seeing improvements in symptoms and quality of life, and no safety concerns,” said Prof. Black. “I found the ReVene device very effective at removing clot and very straightforward to use. These outcomes are really very exciting and show a great deal of promise in improving outcomes in the management of clot in the peripheral vasculature for the benefit of both patients and the healthcare system.”
