Treating hemodialysis access thrombosis with the InThrill Thrombectomy System: Technique and case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to describe via a case example an efficient mechanical thrombectomy technique for hemodialysis access thrombosis using the InThrill Thrombectomy System (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA). A man in his late 60s with end-stage renal disease and a thrombosed femoral arteriovenous graft (AVG) underwent a thrombectomy procedure to remove all thrombotic material including the arterial plug and restore use of the graft for hemodialysis. The InThrill Thrombectomy System used in this procedure consists of a mechanical thrombectomy catheter with a wall-apposing coring element and a sheath with a retractable funnel and aspiration port. The technique starts with gaining wire and sheath access towards the venous outflow. The InThrill Thrombectomy catheter is deployed proximal to the sheath to sequentially remove small segments of thrombus thus avoiding sheath obstruction. A locking syringe is used for rapid aspiration, reducing or eliminating the need to remove the InThrill sheath with every mechanical thrombectomy pass. Finally, the arterial plug is pulled using a Fogarty balloon sheath (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) and extracted using the InThrill catheter, removing what may be the nidus for recurrent AV access thrombosis. The technique described here provided a means to remove all thrombotic material including the arterial plug in a planned, sequential manner, without the need for thrombolytics. Patency was restored to the patient's femoral AVG within 60 minutes, and hemodialysis resumed shortly thereafter. Further studies are needed to support long-term efficacy of this thrombolytic-free treatment option.
