Abstract

Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) with AngioJet (AJ) catheter is one of the most efficacious endovascular techniques for rapidly removing clots and thrombi from occluded vessels. It has a high technical success rate but at the cost of hemolysis which may lead to renal damage. Such a complication after AJ has been published but is still underreported in the literature. In this report, a case of a 68-year-old male patient with acute limb ischemia (ALI) and severe acute kidney injury (AKI) developed after the use of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and PMT AJ has been presented.
