Successful revascularization with baloon catheterization of a six month old thrombus: a case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Thrombus is a recognized cause for limb ischaemia with success rates for revascularization decreasing with increasing time.This article describes a case of a successful femoropopliteal embolectomy for a patient with a 6 month history of claudication in right leg. The authors want to emphasize that physical nature of thrombus should be routinely checked during revascularization as a soft , friable thrombus can be successfully removed using a fogarty balloon catheter obliviating the need for a bypass procedure.
