Peripheral thrombectomy is an endovascular or surgical procedure used to remove blood clots from peripheral arteries, commonly performed in cases of acute limb ischemia. Rapid restoration of blood flow is crucial to prevent tissue necrosis, limb loss, and systemic complications. Patients typically present with pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and paralysis, making prompt intervention essential.

Techniques include mechanical thrombectomy devices, aspiration catheters, and adjunctive thrombolysis to effectively clear the occluded vessel. Careful imaging and planning guide device selection and placement. Peripheral thrombectomy improves perfusion, alleviates ischemic symptoms, and enhances limb salvage rates, representing a critical intervention in the management of acute and complex vascular occlusions
