Spasokukotsky Clinic of Facultative Surgery. In 92.58% of the cases the embolic episode was caused by cardiac pathology. The optimum method of treatment consisted in embolectomy with the aid of the Fogarty catheter from the ulnar fossa that permitted to achieve full restoration of the circulation in 91.59% of the cases. The mortality was approximately the same in all groups of patients. The total mortality comprised 21.1%.
