Abstract
The technique of thrombolysis is now well established, becoming employed increasingly often in disease of the peripheral vasculature, both arterial and venous, in addition to its important role in the treatment of coronary artery thrombosis. This is a general review of its applications in peripheral vascular disease causing acute lower limb ischaemia, currently the major indication for its use outside the coronary circulation.
