Peripheral thrombectomy is a procedure, either endovascular or surgical, aimed at removing blood clots from peripheral arteries, especially in cases of acute limb ischemia. Quickly restoring blood flow is vital to avoid tissue death, loss of limbs, and other serious complications. Patients usually show symptoms like pain, pale skin, lack of pulse, tingling sensations, and even paralysis, which makes timely treatment crucial.The techniques used can include mechanical thrombectomy devices, aspiration catheters, and sometimes thrombolysis to effectively clear the blocked vessel. Careful imaging and planning are essential for choosing the right device and ensuring proper placement. By improving blood flow, peripheral thrombectomy helps relieve ischemic symptoms and boosts the chances of saving the limb, making it a key procedure in tackling acute and complex vascular blockages.
