percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy of superior mesenteric Artery Embolism
Radiology and Oncology, 2013Co-Authors: Dimitrij Kuhelj, Pavel Kavcic, Peter PopovicAbstract:Purpose. Superior mesenteric Artery (SMA) Embolism is a rare abdominal emergency that commonly leads to bowel infarction and has a very high mortality rate. Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial for successful outcome. Alternative therapeutic approach in patients with acute SMA Embolism in median portion of its stem is proposed. Materials and Methods. Three consecutive cases of successful percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy in acute SMA Embolism and up to 45 months follow-up is presented. In one patient a 6F Rotarex® device was used while in others 6F Aspirex® device were used. Results. All patients had sudden relief of pain after the procedure with no signs of intestinal infarction. Rupture of the small branch of SMA during Aspirex® treatment was successfully treated by coiling and transient paralytic ileus presented in one patient. All 3 patients remained symptom-free with patent SMA during the follow-up period. Conclusion. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy seems to be a rapid and effective treatment of acute SMA Embolism in median portion of its stem in absence of bowel necrosis. Follow-up of our patients showed excellent short- and long-term results.

Superior Mesenteric Artery Embolism Treated with Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2011Co-Authors: Peter Popović, Dimitrij Kuhelj, Matjaz BuncAbstract:A case of acute superior mesenteric Artery Embolism treated with percutaneous thrombus aspiration is described. A 63-year-old man with chronic atrial fibrillation was admitted to the hospital with progressive abdominal pain. Computed tomography angiography revealed an occlusion of the distal part of the superior mesenteric Artery. The patient was effectively treated using transaxillary percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using a 6F Aspirex thrombectomy catheter.

fatal left main coronary Artery Embolism from aortic valve endocarditis following cardiac catheterization
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2000Co-Authors: Fadi Shamsham, Arshad M Safi, Igor Pomerenko, Louis Salciccioli, Alan Feit, Luther T Clark, Mahmood AlamAbstract:Coronary Artery embolization has been associated with sudden cardiac death. It is more commonly seen with aortic valve endocarditis. It manifests as acute myocardial ischemia or infarction, causing instability of the cardiac rhythm, which may be fatal. We report a patient with aortic valve endocarditis who had sudden cardiac death following coronary angiography. Autopsy revealed embolic occlusion of the left main coronary Artery.
