Preface to the Third Edition
It has been nearly 50 years since the original description of balloon thrombectomy catheters as the initial endovascular intervention to treat thromboembolic vascular occlusion disease. The initial description of this innovative technology by Dr. Thomas Fogarty was viewed with skepticism and rejected by many prestigious journals. The publication of this technological advance (Surg Gynecol Obstet 1963;116:241–244) detailed a concept that introduced the potential for endovascular therapy of vascular diseases and initiated a progression of technologic advances that have led to the current accepted role of endovascular therapy replacing many conventional surgical procedures. The adoption of Dr. Fogarty’s concept, which was developed at the Good Samaritan Hospital (Cincinnati, OH) and the University of Oregon, led to a collaboration with Dr. Charles Dotter in the initial application of balloon technologies to treat occlusive lesions. The eventual impact of this concept on the evolution of balloon angioplasty for treatment of vascular occlusive disease throughout the vascular system is apparent. Although the evolution of endovascular technologies required many years from Dr. Fogarty’s original concept, the event
