Mechanical atherothrombectomy (MATH) with the Rotarex® S catheter is efficient and safe modality for recanalization of acute, subacute or chronic occlusions of arteries supplying lower limbs. It can be used as an initial technique in patients with acute limb ischemia where historically, the treatment was based on open surgery and/or thrombolysis. The technique can be effective even in patients with contraindicaton to or failed surgery or thrombolysis.

Keywords: mechanical atherectomy, thrombectomy, rotational atherectomy, mechanical atherothrombectomy, percutaneous, thrombectomy percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy, acute lower limb ischemia, arterial recanalization, selective thrombolysis.
