title: Power-pulse spray thrombectomy for treatment of Paget-Schroetter syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This initial single-center study describes three cases of axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis (Paget-Schroetter syndrome) treated with a rapid, novel thrombectomy technique, termed "power-pulse spray thrombectomy," in which a thrombolytic agent is directly infused into the clot via a catheter, followed by intravascular mechanical clot fracture and removal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All patients in this series were treated in a single session. Complete clot removal was successfully achieved without the development of any complications. This is the first description of the application of this technique in the treatment of Paget-Schroetter syndrome to our knowledge.
