Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study examined the results in 30 patients treated with lysis-assisted angioplasty and compared them with the results of 30 patients with simple stenotic disease treated by angioplasty alone. One patient died on the day of treatment with lysis-assisted angioplasty from arterial perforation and haemorrhage. Of the remaining 29 patients 16 (55 per cent) were symptomatically improved and 13 had early reocclusion. Six patients developed major complications (two deaths, two major haemorrhage, two cerebrovascular accident). The late results were comparable to those for patients undergoing angioplasty alone. The best outcome was obtained in patients with proximal disease (P < 0.01); poor run-off or critical ischaemia did not preclude a good outcome.
