Acute superior mesenteric arterial thromboembolic occlusion-catheter directed thrombolysis-be on time, still be cautious!

Immediate Catheter Directed Thrombolysis for Thromboembolic Stroke During Carotid Endarterectomy

BACKGROUND Carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) is a common procedure undertaken by vascular surgeons with over 5,000 procedures performed annually worldwide. Published rates of perioperative stroke range from 1.3% to 6.3%. CASE REPORT A case is presented in which on-table intra-cranial angiography and catheter directed thrombolysis were used for a thromboembolic occlusion of the distal intern...

Acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion complicated by basilar artery occlusion

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare cause of abdominal pain with a very high mortality rate. Vague presentation and often misleading clinical findings make the diagnosis elusive. Here, a unique case of complete superior mesenteric artery occlusion further complicated by basilar artery occlusion is illustrated.

Acute Arterial Thrombosis after Covered Stent Exclusion of Bleeding Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm: Treatment Using Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis

Conventional absolute contraindications to catheter-directed thrombolysis include active or recent hemorrhage and the presence of local vascular infection, both of which increase the risk of procedure-related complications such as bleeding and systemic sepsis. For this reason, lytic therapy of arterial thromboembolism under these circumstances is generally precluded. Herein, we describe a uniqu...
