| pubmed-article:9224519 | pubmed:abstractText | Two patients with acute limb-threatening lower extremity ischaemia as a result of a thrombosed and embolizing popliteal artery aneurysm are described. Both patients were successfully treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis and subsequent elective vascular reconstruction. Thrombolysis might be an effective method to identify the underlying cause of limb ischaemia and to recanalize the run-off vessels leading to better bypass patency rates. However, this management is only indicated in selected cases of acute limb ischaemia without motor or sensory deficit. | lld:pubmed |
