Objective To evaluate the clinical application of a mechanical thrombectomy Straub Rotarex System in peripheral artery.Methods Nine cases,3 men and 6 woman,aged 36-85 years,were included in this study,with 5 of atherosclerosis,and 4 suffering from carcinogenic emboli.All patients were treated with Straub Rotarex System(Straub Rotarex System,patent pending,Straub medical,Wangs,Switzland) under subacute or acute occlusion of lower-limb arteries,including 4 popliteal arteries,3 femoral arteries and 2 iliac arteries,with only one complicated popliteal artery.The lengths of occluded segments were 5.0-13 cm. Results All the thrombi were removed through this intervention accompanied by further bolloon dilation for those greater than 50% stenosis post-operatively,and the arteries were undergone recanalization without any complications.Conclusions Thrombectomy by Straub Rotarex System is safe and effective for patients with peripheral artery occlusion.
