Abstract
- The two most common causes of acute arterial occlusion are embolism and thrombosis in sity. They are mainly originated from the cardiovascular sources. About 70-80 per cent of occlusions occur in the axial limb vessels. Therapeutic options include supportive measures, pharmacologic treatment, surgery, and non-operative interventions. There have been several successful case reports using percutaneous aspiration thromboembolectomy with the advent of new instruments and technical imprevement. We report a case of 70-year-old male with acute anterior wall myocardial infaction who experienced acute embolic arterial occlusion of the left popliteal artery from mural thrombus in the left ventricular apex. It wan managed successfully by percutaneous aspiration thromboembolectomy.
