Trellis(R) Catheter Removes Blood Clots Quickly, Restoring Blood Flow In 771 Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Patients

Registry clinical data presented this week at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting shows DVT treatment with the Trellis(R) Peripheral Infusion System from Bacchus Vascular, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) successfully breaks up the blood clot in most patients in about 20 minutes.

This technique restores blood flow more quickly and safely than current catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) techniques. It provides an important adjunct to the standard therapy of anti-coagulation alone, which is intended to prevent future clots but does not break up the existing clot.
