Thrombolysis of occluded femoropopliteal graft with locally delivered human plasmin.
INTRODUCTION Acute lower limb ischemia results from thrombosis or embolization of diseased native artery or previously implanted bypass graft. When this occurs, several options are available to restore blood flow: catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy or open surgery. Fundamental reasons to apply percutaneous interventions are avoiding open procedures in high risk patients, an...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal therapy of occluded saphenous vein grafts: can the challenge be met with ultrasound thrombolysis?
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal treatment of a thrombotic vein graft yields poor results. We have previously reported our experience with transluminal percutaneous coronary ultrasound thrombolysis (CUT) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This report describes the first experience with ultrasound thrombolysis in thrombus-rich lesions in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), most o...
متن کاملA Comparison of Interposition and Femoropopliteal Bypass Grafts in the Management of Popliteal Artery Trauma
Background: Peripheral vascular injury associated with lower limb trauma is a well-known emergency. The experience for the management of popliteal artery trauma have mainly come from managing the traumas of military personnels during Iran-Iraq war. The present study compared the effects of two currently-used surgical techniques in the management of popliteal trauma, namley femoropopliteal bypas...
متن کاملUltrasound-assisted thrombolysis of an occluded transjugular portosystemic shunt.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion is commonly performed for refractory ascites or variceal bleeding. However, TIPS dysfunction can be seen in both early and late settings, with shunt thrombosis a particular problem. Treatment of shunt dysfunction commonly involves angioplasty and re-lining, with or without embolectomy, mechanical thrombectomy, or thrombolysis. Ultra...
متن کاملHow an Occluded Artery Recanalizes during Acute Stroke Thrombolysis
Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 16-points. An urgent non-contrast brain computed tomography (CT) scan was unremarkable while CT angiography revealed acute occlusion of the proximal right middle cerebral artery (MCA) (Fig. 1A). Treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVtPA) was initiated at 175-minutes from symptom-onset. Continuous transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring of ...
