  • Title: Use of AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy for acute peripheral ischemia associated with stent fracture.
    Author: Barbato JE, Wholey MH.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2007 Nov 15; 70(6):795-8. PubMed ID: 18022849.
    Abstract:
    Stent fracture has been an uncommonly described etiology in the development of acute peripheral ischemia. We describe the utilization of a rheolytic thrombectomy catheter with thrombolytics for the rapid treatment of superficial femoral artery thrombosis after recanalization and subsequent stent fracture. The implications of stent fracture and the therapeutic maneuvers associated with their treatment in peripheral applications are discussed.
