Debulking procedures using aspiration devices have been previously described in the literature to treat vegetations or thrombi on intracardiac structures such as the tricuspid valve. Transcatheter therapy has also been shown to be an effective alternative to surgical treatment for managing high risk or non-surgical patients. Furthermore, aspiration procedures can help identify the unique etiologies of intracardiac masses which can greatly impact differing treatment modalities. Utilization of aspiration devices combined with blood-loss limiting technologies have led to an increased interest in using aspiration systems to address a wider array of clinical situations that can occur. Herein we describe our experience in using the Penumbra CAT 12 Lightning Aspiration System in addressing and treating a mobile mass attached to the lead of an implantable cardiac device.

A 51-year-old man, with a history of cirrhotic portal hypertension and recurrent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stenoses, presented with an acute gastro-esophageal variceal hemorrhage in the setting of an acute and massive thrombotic TIPS shunt occlusion. The clinical presentation was complicated by patient's severe, chronic thrombocytopenia which had precluded empiric anticoagulation previously for recurrent TIPS dysfunction. Following endoscopic treatment of the variceal bleeding, the CAT 12 Indigo aspiration system (Penumbra) was used to remove a large burden of thrombus from the TIPS, allowing successful re-stenting and restoration of blood flow through the TIPS.

Background: Surgical training and evaluation of medical devices require simulation models. The aim of this study was to assess a 3D-printed model as a training model for peripheral endovascular procedures, including thromboaspiration in acute limb ischemia (ALI).
Methods: The 3D-simulation model was modeled from an aorta and lower limbs CT scan by segmentation of the arterial light.
