Rheolytic Hydrodynamic Thrombectomy for Percutaneous Treatment of Acutely Occluded Infra-aortic Native Arteries and Bypass Grafts

Abstract

RTC is a rapid and efficient technique for mechanical thrombectomy of acutely thrombosed native leg arteries and bypass grafts. Midterm results are comparable to the results of alternative treatment modalities such as Fogarty balloon thromboembolectomy or local fibrinolysis.
