[Transfemoral aspiration of a thrombus from a renal artery with an angiographic catheter (author's transl)].
Thrombosis in a renal artery occurred in a 60-year-old woman after regional hypothermia of the kidney for which balloon occlusion of the artery had been used. Perfusion of the kidney was re-established by aspiration and flushing of the thrombus; this was confirmed angiographically and anatomically. Renal function did not recover, however, since removal of the thrombus by means of an angiographic catheter was carried out too late. We regard early aspiration of emboli from major abdominal vessels as a further application of arterial catheterisation by the Seldinger technique.
