Management of synchronous arterial occlusions using intra-arterial thrombolysis.

PMCID: PMC2497467  PMID: 1736791

Abstract

Three patients presented with multiple acute arterial occlusions in separate limb vessels. The diagnosis was confirmed by angiography. Each patient was successfully treated by simultaneous infusion of low-dose intra-arterial streptokinase into each occlusion. All of the patients were improved clinically and in two patients completely normal pressure indices were restored.
