Abstract
The authors present their early experience with local intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for peripheral arterial occlusions causing limb threatening ischaemia, using streptokinase or urokinase. Ten patients were treated in a period of one year. Five patients had successful recanalisation, two patients had partial success and three patients required major amputation. The indications, contraindications and results of this treatment are reviewed.
