Peripheral arterial @entity1031 and @entity715 of arterial grafts continue to threaten viability of extremities. Percutaneous @entity432 ( @entity432 ) and angiodilatation have afforded limb salvage in some of these @entity1 . Proper @entity1 selection appears to be the hallmark of success with @entity432 . During a recent three-year period, we used @entity432 in 32 extremities in 28 @entity1 who had acute @entity9085 . Before @entity432 , 16 extremities were @entity158 at rest, and 16 had incapacitating @entity613 . The overall success rate was 38%, but some degree of thrombolysis occurred in 88%. Limb salvage was achieved in 27 of 32 extremities (84%). Only five of 17 limbs (29%) with arterial graft @entity715 required no operation or an operation of lesser magnitude than predicted before @entity432 . Of six extremities with native @entity1416 , four (67%) were completely cleared with @entity432 . Major complications occurred in eight cases (25%), with two @entity432 -related @entity204 (6%). This study suggests that @entity432 is best reserved for individuals with @entity63 caused by @entity2500 , those whose degree of @entity63 would tolerate a 24-hour trial of @entity432 , and those whose femoral or tibial runoff is not likely to require remedial operation.
