| Popis: | Current techniques for the percutaneous revascularization of totally occluded vein grafts are limited by a low initial success rate, a significant incidence of distal embolization, and a high rate of early graft reclosure. This case report describes two patients in whom graft recanalization was attempted with the combined use of balloon angioplasty/intra-graft stent placement and local urokinase delivery using a new angiotherapy catheter. Successful recanalization was achieved in both patients without major complications, in spite of a large thrombus burden as demonstrated by angiography. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
