Abstract
• We describe a technique for removal of a thrombotic plug from an occluded aortofemoral bypass limb that only requires operative exposure of the involved graft limb and that utilizes a balloon-tipped catheter and a Cannon endarterectomy loop. This method assures pulsatile inflow and avoids extended reconstructive procedures.
