title: [Acute peripheral arterial occlusion].
abstract: Acute embolic occlusion of a normal artery is best treated by simple "Fogarty" maneuver. This procedure is mostly successfully performed even by less experienced surgeons. However, if atherosclerotic disease is the underlying cause for acute occlusion of the vessel, an experienced vascular surgeon and the use of interventional techniques is demanded. In this case, deficits in both experience and technical equipment in the operating room frequently lead to avoidable limb loss.
