Acute Embolic Occlusion of the Left Common Iliac Artery Treated With Intra-Arterial Thrombolysis and Percutaneous Thrombectomy

چکیده
Acute embolic occlusion of the common iliac artery is a rare medical emergency that is not only limb-threatening, but also potentially life-threatening. Several treatment options exist for acute limb ischemia, although no treatment is clearly best. We report a case of acute embolic occlusion of the left common iliac artery in a patient with atrial fibrillation who was treated successfully using mechanical thrombectomy following intra-arterial thrombolysis.
