A Novel Percutaneous Technique for Aorto-Iliac Thrombectomy without the Risk of Embolization
Classic surgical thrombectomy of the aorta and iliac arteries through an incision in the groin vessels harbors the risk of embolization to the viscero-renal as well as hypogastric arteries, while percutaneous endovascular thrombectomy techniques can lead
