| pubmed-article:2941510 | pubmed:abstractText | Results of treatment of a personal series of 12 patients developing a thrombus in branches of prostheses after aorto-iliac surgery are presented. A therapeutic procedure used over the last two years consists of initial local and regional thrombolysis to remove the acute obstruction, followed by surgery at the level chosen, and if necessary to correct a faulty technique or progression of the atherosclerosis. Good results were obtained even for thrombosis originating after the conventional 8-10 day postoperative period, insofar as the thrombus that develops in a graft may differ from one forming in an artery. This aspect requires further studies, which will also provide greater clarification of the etiopathogenicity. | lld:pubmed |
