Abstract
We present a novel approach to endovascular thrombectomy using the Penumbra Indigo® Aspiration System with balloon assistance for a thromboembolic occlusion to the tibioperoneal trunk and tibial arteries causing acute limb ischemia. This technique allows for effective suction thrombectomy of distal vessels into a shorter, large-diameter aspiration catheter, thereby overcoming the limitations of the longer but smaller aspiration catheters.
