ABSTRACT: Introduction
Acute and subacute thrombotic occlusions of the lower extremities are common subtypes of peripheral artery disease frequently encountered in clinical practice. These occlusions typically involve the obstruction of a native artery or bypass graft, primarily caused by thrombosis or embolism. Endovascular therapy has increasingly become the preferred first-line treatment for patients with acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions in the lower extremities. Thrombectomy, the removal of the thrombus, represents a critical initial step in endovascular management. A range of thrombectomy devices is currently available to treat such occlusions. However, the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments remain uncertain, with real-world evidence on thrombectomy devices showin
