Endovascular thrombectomy is a procedure used to remove blood clots from large blood vessels, most commonly in cases of acute ischemic stroke or limb-threatening ischemia. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the affected vessel and using a mechanical device or clot-dissolving medications to remove the clot and restore normal blood flow.

Endovascular thrombectomy is effective in reducing the risk of permanent damage caused by blood clots, improving patient outcomes, and preserving function in affected limbs or organs.
