Acute limb ischemia is a vascular emergency and current guidelines emphasize the need for rapid treatment in a vascular center with an option of open surgical and interventional revascularization. Endovascular revascularization options for acute limb ischemia are increasingly focused on a wide range of mechanical thrombectomy devices based on different operating principles.For patients with acute limb ischemia in the setting of covid-19 infection high mortality rates and low technical success rates of revascularization procedures have been described.
