ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Theaim:
This study evaluates catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) outcomes in patients with acute lower limb arterial thrombosis and acute limb ischemia. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Materials andmethods:
53 patients (17 females, 36 males, aged 53-76) were studied. 57% had femoropopliteal and below-the-knee (BTK) thromboocclusion, 43% had BTK thromboocclusion. Symptoms included pain, pallor, edema, and cyanosis. Exclusions criteria contracture, recent surgeries, bleeding.RESULTS:
Results:
In 29 (97%) patients regression of lower-limb ischemia rate by 1-2 stages according to the Rutherford classification were observed. One patient (3%) did not exhibit any regression in the degree of lower-limb ischemia, experiencing increasing pain and decreased sensitivity in the lower limb, leading to the development of contracture in the ankle joint and subsequent lower limb amputation over 7 days. Among 12 (40%) patients, after performing follow-up arteriography of the lower limb, angioplasty was performed on the diagnosed steno-occlusive lesions in the revascularized segment with secondary angioplasty. Within a year, one (3%) patient experienced recurrent thrombosis of the lower limb arteries with subsequent revascularization.CONCLUSION:
Conclusions:
CDT is recommended for ALI Patients with arterial thrombooclusion.Palavras-chave
