Objective To investigate the significance of Fogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques for acute limb ischemia. Methods Clinical data of 88 cases(88 limbs) of lower limb ischemia who were treated in our hospital from Feb. 2007 to Jan. 2011 were collected and analyzed. Of the 88 patients, 46 cases were operated by Fogarty catheter embolectomy(embolectomy group), 42 cases were operated by Fogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques(combination group). Comparisons of the clinical indexes of ankle-brachial index(ABI), saturation of blood oxygen(SO2) of toes, and temperature of foot skin before and after operation were performed between the 2 groups, as well as the incidence of mortality, complication, and amputation after operation. Results Compared with before operation in the same group, the value of ABI, SO2, and temperature of foot skin in the 2 groups were higher(P<0.05), as well as the 3 kinds of indexes were both higher in combination group after operation(P<0.05). The rates of mortality, amputation, myonephropathic metabolic syndrome(MNMS), osteofascial compartment syndrome, and transient renal insufficiency were 13.04%(6/46), 17.39%(8/46), 26.09% (12/46), 26.09%(12/46), and 13.04%(6/46) respectively, the corresponding rates in combination group were 4.76% (2/42), 7.14%(3/42), 14.29%(6/42), 9.52%(4/42), and 9.52%(4/42) respectively, which were all lower in combination group(P<0.05). Conclusion Fogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques can be one of the surgical treatment methods for acute limb ischemia, which is characterized by minimally invasive surgery and effective treatment.
