[Prognostic factors in thromboembolectomy with the Fogarty catheter for acute ischemia of the limbs]. 1979

C Guccione, and G Tonietto, and M Actis Dato

The Authors describe the results obtained in 181 patients treated with thromboembolectomy by Fogarty catheter for acute limb ischaemia. Data were analyzed with the help of a set of computer programs for statistical computations, and some highly significant prognostic factors were determined: ischaemia duration and severity cause a substantial increase of both death and amputation probability; associate diseases or thrombosis are significant factors for amputation; occlusion level for death. The patients whose limb was saved without the pulse being present were characterized by ASO or thrombosis.
