Table 3. Studies comparing CDTL and mechanical thrombectomy for Paget Schroetter syndrome.

Study	Year	Intervention	Clinical outcomes
Schneider et al. (14)	2003	AngioJet debulking followed by CDTL	• Average thrombolysis time of 12 hours overall
			• 60% of patients found to have post-decompression residual stenosis, successfully managed via PTA
O’Sullivan et al. (21)	2007	Trellis catheter followed by surgical decompression	• 50–95% clot removed in 82% of patients
			• >95% clot removed in 3 patients
			• <50% clot removed in 1 patient
			• Average thrombolysis time of 91 minutes
Elman et al. (16)	2006	Mechanical thrombectomy versus CDTL	• >50% clot removed in 93% of patients receiving mechanical thrombectomy
			• >50% clot removed in 79% of patients receiving CDTL
Zurkiya et al. (10)	2018	CDTL with or without post surgical decompression balloon angioplasty	• 86% of patients undergoing CDTL had residual SV stenosis managed with balloon angioplasty
			• 4 patients undergoing CDTL had chronic SV occlusion
Wooster et al. (8)	2019	Endovascular intervention with or without surgical decompression	• 67% of patients underwent endovascular repair including
			• 23 PTA
			• 13 Stent
			• 18 venous reconstruction
Bashir et al.	2022	CDTL with surgical decompression	• Median thrombolysis time of 22 hours (6–46)
			• 88% of patients had fully patent SV following decompression
			• 100% of patients asymptomatic at follow-up

CDTL, catheter-directed thrombolysis; PTA, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty; SV, subclavian vein.
