Implication

Retrospective study assesses angiographic success and 30-day limb salvage in acute lower-limb ischaemia, indicating implications for procedural outcomes.

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between angiographic technical success after mechanical thrombectomy and 30-day limb salvage rates.
Retrospective single-centre registry study of 69 mechanical thrombectomy procedures from 2019-2025.
Assessment of target segments, thrombus extent, post-thrombectomy TIPI grade, and 30-day outcomes at the procedure level.
Paired discordance analyzed using the exact McNemar test.
Angiographic technical success (TIPI grade 2-3) was achieved in 68/69 procedures (98.6%; 95% CI, 92.2–100.0).
30-day limb salvage rate was 59/69 (85.5%; 95% CI, 75.0–92.8) with a discordance showing 9 of 10 limbs not salvaged had angiographic success (p=0.0039).
Post-thrombectomy distal embolization occurred in 16/66 procedures (24.2%) with a 30-day mortality of 6/69 (8.7%).
