Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the effectiveness of two methods of open surgical thromboembolectomy (TE) for treating acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) over a 10-year period, comparing fluoroscopic assisted TE (FATE) to blind and selective on-demand fluoroscopic-assisted TE (BSTE).
- A total of 108 patients were treated, revealing a 30-day mortality rate of 12.0% and a major amputation rate of 6.5%, with no significant differences between the two methods in these outcomes.
- The FATE method showed advantages like the use of local anesthesia and fewer required further interventions, indicating it might provide a more effective and less invasive approach to managing ALLI.
We present a case of a healthy young female with axillary vein compression caused by the pectoralis minor muscle. Diagnosis was made by clinical findings and dynamic venography. After pectoralis minor tenotomy, the patient had total resolution of her symptoms.
