Arterial Plug Removal

  • Choose a Fogarty embolectomy balloon sized for the artery (3-4mm) and insert past the arterial plug.
  • Inflate the balloon, “pop” the arterial plug, then pull back to the introducer site.
  • Extract the arterial plug, then confirm flow and patency throughout the device.  Ultrasound may be used to assess flow.
  • Reconfirm placement of the device connector and Venous Outflow Component tip via fluoroscopy.
