Abstract
We report a case of acute lower extremity ischemia caused by occlusion of the right common iliac artery (CIA), which we treated with mechanical thrombectomy followed by stent placement. The current role of mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of acute limb ischemia is discussed. Considerations in primary stenting for acute arterial occlusions are presented. We briefly review the role of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in the evaluation of patients with acute limb ischemia.Entities:
