    Arterial embolism is increasing, and while Fogarty catheters simplify surgery, high mortality and amputation rates persist. Improving diagnosis and techniques can enhance limb salvage and reduce deaths.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology

    Background:

    • Arterial embolism is a significant and growing clinical concern.
    • The Fogarty catheter has improved embolectomy technique but high mortality and amputation rates remain.
    • Early diagnosis and refined surgical methods are crucial for better outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review 10 years of experience with surgical embolectomy.
    • To identify and discuss technical challenges in embolectomy procedures.
    • To provide guidance for safer and more successful embolectomy outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of a decade of embolectomy cases.
    • Analysis of technical aspects including arteriotomy and catheter handling.
    • Discussion of perioperative management and site-specific challenges.

    Main Results:

    • Identified persistent high rates of mortality and amputation despite technological advancements.
    • Highlighted specific technical difficulties encountered during embolectomy.
    • Emphasized the importance of meticulous surgical technique and management.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing embolectomy techniques is essential to improve limb salvage rates.
    • Addressing technical challenges in arteriotomy, catheter use, and patient management can reduce complications.
    • Further improvements in surgical practice are needed to mitigate the high morbidity and mortality associated with arterial embolism.
