Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

  • Acute limb ischemia (ALI) treatment is challenging due to elderly patients with complex atherosclerosis and comorbidities.
  • Traditional balloon embolectomy catheter techniques have seen limited innovation since 1963.
  • Managing ALI in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities presents significant operative and perioperative difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the benefits of intraoperative fluoroscopy for improving thromboembolectomy outcomes.
  • To introduce and assess fluoroscopically assisted thromboembolectomy (FATE) as an advanced technique for ALI.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing intraoperative fluoroscopy to guide thromboembolectomy procedures.
  • Performing fluoroscopically assisted thromboembolectomy (FATE) to extract clot from affected limbs.

  • Employing fluoroscopy to identify residual thrombus, underlying lesions, and guide adjunctive angioplasty and stenting.

    • Main Results:

    • FATE facilitates passage through tortuous, diseased arteries.
    • Fluoroscopy aids in identifying residual thrombus and underlying atherosclerotic lesions.
    • FATE reduces vessel damage from balloon overinflation and minimizes dissection or plaque displacement risks.
    • Intraoperative fluoroscopy guides timely angioplasty and stenting, simplifying treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluoroscopically assisted thromboembolectomy (FATE) significantly improves treatment results for acute limb ischemia.
    • This technique enhances procedural safety and efficacy, especially in complex atherosclerotic cases.
    • Integrating fluoroscopy and adjunctive procedures streamlines and expedites ALI management.
