Figure 1 The Rotarex® system.
Figure 2 Contraindications for Rotarex® use.
Figure 3 Acute proximal occlusion of a femoro-popliteal bypass on right.
Figure 4 Reperfusion after two rotation thrombectomy passes.
Figure 5 Detection of a high-grade insertion stenosis of the bypass as the presumed cause of the occlusion.
Figure 6 Normal flow in the bypass following stent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Figure 7 Degeneratively altered femoropopliteal venous bypass on right following acute reopening with rotation thrombectomy (Rotarex® 8 F).
Notes: Large bypass aneurysm upstream of the distal anastomosis. Elimination of the aneurysm in two steps using a Viabahn® endoprosthesis.
