Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The brachial approach for recanalizing an abdominal aortic occlusion utilizing a combination of thrombolysis and balloon angioplasty is described. The patient was deemed too ill to permit any surgical intervention. The unique aspects of the procedure are described including angioplasty of the unmasked (by lytic therapy) aortoiliac bifurcation stenoses utilizing double wires and double balloons through a single arteriotomy site. The advantages of the brachial approach in managing this unusual entity are outlined.
