Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Thrombolytic therapy has been around for close to 30 years now,but its exact role in the treatment of acute and chronic arterial occlusive disease continues to be debated. Studies have produced varying and contradictory results. We are still not sure if thrombolysis has any true advantages over surgical thromboembolectomy,or which lytic agent is the best. Nonetheless, the technique still plays an important role in the treatment of arterial occlusions. |
