title: Minimal Modification to the Trerotola Backbleeding Technique Increases Its Effectiveness.
abstract: Thrombectomy of a clotted upper arm access may be complicated by brachial artery embolization. A number of techniques have been described to relieve the embolization that may not always be successful. Backbleeding is one such technique. We describe a minimal modification that makes backbleeding more effective.
