Mechanical Thrombectomy Is an Alternative Way To Go: The European Experience Commentary on: Quality Improvement Guidelines for Percutaneous Management of Acute Limb Ischemia

Author: Dierk Vorwerk

Published in: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology | Issue 1/2006

Excerpt

The joint SIR/CIRSE publication on percutaneous management of acute leg ischemia is an excellent document dealing with the different techniques, recipes and approaches mainly for thrombolysis, which is a frequently used technique particularly in the United States. Relatively little mention has been made in that document of the use of mechanical thrombectomy. …
