Abstract
The study evaluated long-term limb salvage and survival of an endovascular approach that incorporates mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in the management of arterial thrombosis. Acute limb ischemia is associated with a high risk of amputation and death. Previous reports from the United States (U.S.) of surgical and nonsurgical treatments are limited to primarily 30 days to 1 year. Single-center, retrospective review of 57 consecutive patients (30 male, 27 female; mean age 63.8 +/- 13.8 years) treated for limb threatening ischemia due to thrombotic arterial occlusions. Data includes baseline assessments, procedural outcomes, in-hospital complications, 30-day, and long-term follow-up. Ninety-three percent of patients (n = 53) presented with onset of symptoms (<14 days). Angiography following PMT showed thrombus removal complete/substantial 36 (63.6%), partial 16 (28.0%), and minimal 5 (8.8%), respectively. Catheter-directed thrombolysis was used after PMT in 18 patients (31.6%). In-hospital success with limb salvage was attained in 96.5% (n = 55) with mortality of 3.5% (n = 2). Thirty-day limb salvage and mortality were 94.7% (n = 54) and 5.3% (n = 3), respectively. At mean 5-year follow-up (mean = 62 months), three patients have bee...Continue Reading
