Mechanical thrombectomy “safe and effective” for treatment of acute limb ischaemia

Gianmarco de Donato (Siena, Italy) speaks to Vascular News at Paris Vascular Insights (PVI) 2023 (8-10 November, Paris, France) about acute limb ischaemia (ALI), detailing that his treatment approach has changed considerably over the past 10 years. Nowadays, Donato shares that uses a totally endovascular approach to ALI, which he finds “very effective” and allows him to save more limbs than the alternatives of an open-only or hybrid approach.
Donato, who is a professor of vascular surgery at the University of Siena, also speaks about the available evidence. While there is some available, he says, more is “coming soon”.
