Illustration of an AngioJet; coronary thrombectomy Catheter<unk>  Balloon<unk>  Typically this is done by inserting a catheter with an inflatable balloon attached to its tip into an artery, passing the catheter tip beyond the clot, inflating the balloon, and removing the clot by withdrawing the catheter. The catheter is called Fogarty, named after its inventor Thomas J. Fogarty. Possible complications of balloon<unk>  include intimal lesions, which can lead to another thrombosis. The vessel may also be affected by a dissection or rupture. The procedure may lead to cholesterol embolism from atherosclerotic plaques. Aspiration<unk>  Catheter<unk>  is also used for aspiration<unk> , where the thrombus is removed by suction rather than pushing with a balloon. It is a rapid and effective way of removing thrombi in thromboembolic occlusions of the limb arteries below the inguinal ligament, as in leg infarction. Surgical<unk>  Surgical<unk>  is the simple surgical removal of a clot following incision into a vessel by open surgery on the artery.
