We aimed to present a case of effective and successful endovascular treatment of acute lower limb thromboembolism with Clearlumen-II, a new aspiration thrombectomy device. Also, we emphasize the superiority of endovascular treatment compared with surgery, especially together with acute and chronic occlusive diseases, as in our case.
