Abstract
Percutaneous mechanical rheolytic thrombectomy is increasingly being used for the treatment of arterial, venous, and graft thromboses. We describe three cases of pancreatitis as a complication of mechanical rheolytic thrombectomy used in the treatment of caval and ileofemoral deep venous thrombosis and discuss the possible etiologic factors involved. To our knowledge, this complication has been previously reported in only two cases.
