ABSTRACT
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) remains a life-threatening condition. Studies with catheter-directed thrombolysis and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy systems show modest improvements in mortality compared to surgery but with pitfalls of major bleeding, distal embolization, recurrent thrombosis, prolonged thrombolytic infusion and increased overall cost. We present a unique and therapeutically challenging case of bilateral acute lower limb ischemia that was managed percutaneously in one setting by a novel technique using site-specific (isolated) pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis-thrombectomy (IPMT) system.
