A, Relative risks (RR) and 95% CIs of several categorical variables for TT failure are presented as a forest plot graph. B, The comparison of the thrombus area, valve area, and DSA between successful and failed cases undergoing thrombolysis is represented as box plot graphs (B).

Demonstration of serial 2D and real-time 3D (RT-3D) TEE images of a patient with obstructive PVT (arrows) undergoing TT (A, upper and lower parts). B and C, Serial 2D (upper parts) and RT-3D TEE (lower parts) images performed after each 25-mg t-PA session. The size and area of thrombus decreased after the first thrombolysis session (B), and complete lysis was achieved after the second session (C).
