Simultaneous thrombolysis of superior mesenteric artery and bilateral renal artery thromboembolisms with three transfemoral catheters

Abstract

Successful treatment was achieved for a patient with superior mesenteric artery thromboembolism concomitant with bilateral renal artery thromboembolism. Thrombi of the three vessels were lysed simultaneously with a three-catheter technique using short-term, high-dose urokinase followed by overnight infusion with low-dose urokinase.
