    Rheolytic thrombectomy using the AngioJet catheter for arterial thrombosis has been shown to be effective in restoring blood flow. Additional infusion of thrombolytic agents via the AngioJet catheter results in combined rheolytic pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (PMT), which further enhances thrombectomy efficacy. However, the histologic response to rheolytic PMT therapy remains unclear. This study compares the acute and chronic vessel wall response and hemolysis due to conventional AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy (RT) and AngioJet PMT in the porcine peripheral arterial model.
