Abstrakt:	Background: The AngioVac system is a vacuum aspiration device approved for removal of right-sided cardiac thrombi. It has also been used for management of right-sided endocarditis in selected cases. Retrospective case series have reported high success rate and acceptable 30-day mortality, but there is limited data regarding outcomes beyond the immediate postoperative period. The purpose of this study is to describe our institution's experience with the AngioVac system for thrombus, vegetation, and tumor removal with a significant improvement over previously reported 1-year survival rates. Methods: A retrospective review of AngioVac cases performed at our tertiary care center from 2016-2022 was done. From 2016-2022, 23 patients were identified, and their outcomes are described. Results: Our review demonstrates 81.8% procedural success, 100% procedure survival, 90.9% survival to discharge, and 81.8% 30-day survival rates. One-year survival rate was 72.7%. Complications including an 18.2% rate of new vasopressor use, 54.5% rate of transfusion requirement, and 4.5% rate of acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis were identified. Intraprocedural embolization occurred in 1 case requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and thrombectomy. One case was converted to open surgical intervention. Conclusions: Our review further supports the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive vacuum-assisted aspiration systems beyond the immediate postoperative period in intracardiac thrombus, tumor, and right-sided infective endocarditis. Our institution's experience emphasizes a team-based approach including interventional cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery with a standardized imaging approach with transesophageal echocardiogram. Future guidelines are needed to include an algorithmic approach to intracardiac masses. (© 2024 The Author(s).)
