Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using Rotarex S in the treatment of acute limb ischemia (ALI) in infrainguinal occlusions in a retrospective study of patients treated in our institution. Methods. In this study, we identified a total of 147 ALI patients that underwent mechanical thrombectomy using Rotarex S at our institution. In 82% of the cases, percutaneous thrombectomy was used as first-line treatment, and for the remainder of the cases, it was used as bailout after ineffective aspiration or thrombolysis. Additional fibrinolysis and adjunctive aspirational thrombectomy were utilized for outflow occlusion when required. Procedural outcomes, amputation rate, and mortality at 30 days were evaluated. Results. Of the 147 patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy, Rotarex S was used as first-line treatment in 120 cases and as second-line treatment in 27 cases. Overall, we achieved 90.5% procedural revascularization success rate when combining mechanical thrombectomy with limited thrombolysis for severe outflow obstruction, and 1 death and 3 amputations were observed. We achieved primary success in 68.7% of the patients with the mechanical thrombectomy only, and in 21.8% of the patients, we successfully used additional limited thrombolysis in the outflow. The overall mortality was 0.7% and amputation rate was 2% at 30 days. Conclusion. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy as first-line mini-invasive treatment in infrainguinal ALI is safe, quick, and effective, and the performance outcomes can be superior to that of traditional surgical embolectomy.

Acute limb ischemia is still the most frequent cause of major limb loss. Timely and fast revascularization is the key for limb salvage and patient survival. Large randomized trials showed equivalency of surgical and endovascular revascularization by means of local lysis with urokinase (TOPAS, STILE). New lytic agents and their modified application such as via a pulse spray catheter or combined with an ultrasound catheter and the combination with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists have increased the efficacy and speed of thrombolysis. Recently, mechanical thrombectomy devices have become more widespread because intervention time and bleeding complications can be reduced. This review article summarizes the clinical presentation of and the treatment options for acute arterial occlusive disease caused either by embolism or local thrombosis.
