[Drug thrombolysis and mechanical recanalization in recent femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions].
Acute femoro-popliteal occlusions (native arteries or bypass grafts) were treated by medical and surgical treatment. Despite improvement in surgical technique, patient mortality was high and limb loss remained frequent. Percutaneous endoluminal treatment of such lesions is feasible using in situ fibrinolysis and/or thromboaspiration singly or in association with balloon angioplasty. Those techniques are effective and are currently the first intention treatment of many of those acute femoro-popliteal occlusion. The advantages and disadvantages of those techniques are discussed, as well as their respective indications, and particularly their place compared to surgical techniques. New devices such as mechanical thrombectomy may increase effectivity and indications of endovascular treatment however such devices need to be better evaluated.
