Short-term outcomes of endovascular management of acute limb ischemia using aspiration mechanical thrombectomy

CONCLUSIONS: Short-term amputation-free survival rates of endovascular management of acute limb ischemia are adequate across all modalities. However, aspiration mechanical thrombectomy was associated with significantly worse amputation-free survival compared to other endovascular adjuncts alone (i.e., pharmacomechanical thrombolysis). Severe limb ischemia (Rutherford ALI Stage 2B) and prior supra-inguinal bypass were associated with worse amputation-free survival regardless of the choice of endovascular intervention.PMID:38415647 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236923
