Nikolaos Galanakis: Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy has Emerged as a Valuable Treatment Option in Acute Limb Ischemia
Nikolaos Galanakis, Assistant Professor of Interventional Radiology Medical School / University of Crete, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) has emerged as a valuable treatment option in acute limb ischemia (ALI), offering rapid restoration of arterial flow while minimizing the risks associated with open surgery or prolonged thrombolysis. By mechanically fragmenting and removing thrombotic material, PMT provides rapid reperfusion, a key determinant for limb salvage and prevention of ischemic complications.
A 67-year-old male presented with ALI due to acute thrombosis of a femoropopliteal bypass graft, originally created for treatment of a popliteal artery aneurysm. The patient underwent percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy using the AngioJet device and angioplasty, achieving significant restoration of arterial flow.
This is the power of IR. Keep the momentum going at CIRSE2025!”
