Abstract
A 48-year-old male patient with acute oc elusion (5 cm) of a leg arter y was treated with the rheolytic thrombectomy (RT). As recommended the catheter is applicated via a single coaxial running guide wire, which is removed later. If an additional wire has been placed in the occlud ed vessel segment, the occlusion can be passed repeatedly. A 30 degree s bent catheter tip improves the removal of wall-adherent thrombotic m aterial. The occluded segment was successfully recanalised with the RT C, 270 ml of heparinised saline had been injected. The blood examinati ons showed mild haemolysis.
