Fishing Out Blood Clot By New Technique Saves Writer
The Associated Press editor and writer Smith Reavis survived a saddle thrombus in the abdomen after doctors in New York improvised a corkscrew tipped wire to fish the clot from the femoral artery. The operation, born in Vienna, used a measured path up the artery to reach the clot and remove it. Reavis, credited with inspiring the Kellogg Briand pact outlawing war, remains in guarded condition due to prior complications.
