Management of arteriovenous graft thrombosis part 3
Interventional thrombolysis
Prosthetic graft thrombosis can be treated with various percutaneous techniques and tools, including combinations of thromboaspiration, use of thrombolytic agents such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), mechanical thrombectomy and mechanical thrombectomy devices.

Post procedural angiography to detect and correct inflow, intra-access or venous outflow stenosis is mandatory.
