My name is Alan Poland. I am one of the Clinical Sales Representatives for what is now called Medrad Interventional / Possis. Possis Medical was recently acquired and merged with Medrad...a Bayer Medical Company.
I handle not only the clinical side of the use of AngioJet (the device that removed your blood clot) but I also assist with marketing the product and selling it in the Arizona and Utah areas. I have a vast history of clinical experience in the Cardiac Cath Lab and Interventional Radiology areas of hospitals.
As you can see, there is a bit more information getting out about DVT and more and more physicians are talking about it. An estimated 600,000 cases of DVT occur in the United States, affecting both men and women in all ethnic and social groups so. DVT can lead to complications such as pulmonary embolism (PE) or post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Approximately 200,000 individuals die annually as a result of pulmonary embolism.
I personally feel your frustration about the treatment of DVT and becoming more aggressive with treating DVT. By performing mechanical thrombectomy on patients with DVT, the patient can potentially spend half if not less than half the time in hospital with better results. The key is to identify and diagnose the phenomena early. I have attached a website for you to reference:

Lastly, AngioJet is used to treat all peripheral arterial vessels that contain clot as well as Coronary arteries. Nephrologists and Interventional Radiologists use the AngioJet to treat A/V fistulea that renal dialysis patients have for their dialysis treatments.
As for stock, Possis Medical is now officially merged with Medrad and are not publicly traded on the stock market any longer.
If you have any more questions or would like more information on the use of AngioJet and its applications in thrombus management, please feel free to contact myself or anyone at the Medrad Interventional / Possis offices. Dan Janse would be an excellent point of contact for your peripheral application questions.
I have also attached a great website that Medrad Interventional / Possis sponsors in order to help educate our communities and hospital personnel on DVT. The website is:

Thanks so much,
Alan Poland
