Summary

In this add–on procedure, the provider treats an occlusion or blockage in the second and all subsequent arteries or arterial bypass grafts by using a combined technique of mechanical thrombectomy and pharmacological thrombolytic injection after he treats an occlusion in an initial vessel from the same noncoronary, non–intracranial vascular family using the same method. He also uses fluoroscopic guidance to perform mechanical thrombectomy.
