Catheter-directed thrombolysis followed by embolectomy may be an effective initial treatment strategy for aortic saddle embolus to prevent revascularization injury.

Iida et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Aortic saddle embolus (n=1). Catheter-directed thrombolysis and embolectomy was evaluated on Recanalization and clinical improvement. Catheter-directed thrombolysis promptly induced partial recanalization and reduced the need for emergency surgery, allowing for successful subsequent embolectomy with an uneventful postoperative course.
