Another option is surgery to remove the clot (embolectomy).

It was here, in 1925 that Jefferson performed the first successful embolectomy in England.

John Henry can move his arm following the embolectomy and is able to feel House touching his leg.

Possible complications of balloon embolectomy include intimal lesions, which can lead to another thrombosis.

The balloon embolectomy catheter was used on a human patient for the first time six weeks after Fogarty came up with the idea in 1961.

Embolectomy, to remove the embolus, with various techniques available:

Embolectomy is the emergency surgical removal of emboli which are blocking blood circulation.

Outcome of embolectomy varies with size and location of the embolus.

The devices have only been tested on patients treated with mechanical clot embolectomy within eight hours of the onset of symptoms.

Embolectomy is an emergency procedure often as the last resort because permanent occlusion of a significant blood flow to an organ leads to necrosis.

Fogarty's inventions and the many others that resulted from his original embolectomy catheter heavily influenced the way surgery was performed.

In 1911 Mosny reported the first successful embolectomy, a direct arterial surgical procedure that was performed on the femoral artery.

Surgical embolectomy for massive pulmonary embolism (PE) has become a rare procedure and is often viewed as a last resort.

Surgical or catheter embolectomy is normally performed in patients with pulmonary embolism (formed from venous embolisms).

Surgical embolectomy is the simple surgical removal of a clot following incision into a vessel by open surgery on the artery.

Dr. Thomas J. Fogarty, surgeon and inventor of the embolectomy catheter.

The treatment options include injection of an anticoagulant, thrombolysis, embolectomy, surgical revascularisation, or amputation.

Embolectomy is used for patients with persisting shock despite supportive care and who have an absolute contraindication for thrombolytic therapy.

His student, Martin Kirschner, performed the first successful pulmonary embolectomy in 1924, shortly before Trendelenburg's death.

On 18 March 1924, Kirschner performed the first successful pulmonary artery embolectomy - Trendelenburg's operation.

Clot removal through a balloon catheter placed into the affected artery or through open surgery on the artery (embolectomy)

His second son, Arthur was a well-known surgeon in Berlin who was one of the first to successfully carry out surgical embolectomy in massive pulmonary embolism.
