Experiences with

Embolectomy

I am new and had embolectomy of iliac artery stents on both sides and after Fragmin I'm on Clopidogrel and after taking it my buttocks and legs ache!I don't know whether it's the stents or the medication. Anyone have similar. Thanks so much

My husband had a triple bypass in May and a week later had a pulmonary embolectomy. He ended up on a ventilator for about six weeks and finally was released from the hospital on July 17. Since then, he has been treated for a chest wound that will not heal.

He had a triple bypass on May 7 and a pulmonary embolectomy caused by a reaction to heparin on May 16.

They performed an embolectomy which initially appeared successful but subsequently they decided it hadn't restored blood flow sufficiently, then I underwent fem pop bypass surgery. I understand that this went really well, restoring blood flow/ pulse fully.
