Post Embolectomy Thrombosis Treated with Intra-Arterial StreptokinaseDepartment of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts
Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts A case is presented which demonstrates the occasional need for selective intra- arterial streptokinase when re-thrombosis has occurred following catheter thromboem bolectomy of a peripheral artery. It is recommended that repeat embolectomy be carried out and all mechanical causes for re-thrombosis be excluded before resorting to fi brinolysis. The literature citing other indications for selective arterial use of streptokinase is reviewed.
