In this study, we report two cases who underwent catheter-assisted embolectomy under fluoroscopy due to insufficient conventional embolectomy. One of the patients had ascending aortobifemoral bypass and the other had aortoiliac bypass. In both cases, material incompatibilityrelated complications developed and additional surgical embolectomy procedures were performed. We believe that with an adequate material support and increased experience, catheter-assisted embolectomy could be an alternative procedure in patients with insufficient conventional embolectomy and in cases who are ineligible for mechanical treatment and thrombolysis, in particular.
