Thrombectomy peformed with the Fogarty balloon catheter may, in a small percentage of cases, given rise to complications. In four cases reviewed, this procedure was associated with aneurysms or arteriovenous fistulae. Careful catheter manipulation and a judicious used of fluoroscopy or angiography during the procedure can reduce the number of such complications
