Description
Ai Mizukami is lead author of a 2026 case report of a rare access-site complication after mechanical thrombectomy. That is a procedure to pull a clot from the brain of a stroke patient. It uses a tube inserted in the groin. Blood suddenly stopped flowing back from the tubes, a warning sign the team acted on at once.
Imaging from the other leg showed the external iliac artery, the main vessel to the leg, completely blocked by clot trapped at the sheath tip. Through a small surgical opening, a Fogarty catheter, a balloon-tipped tube, removed the clot and rapidly restored flow. The patient had no limb ischaemia or new brain harm and did well. The authors urge immediate vascular checks when sheath reflux vanishes.
