Thrombosis was the cause of arterial occlusion in about 60% of the cases during the past 5 years, and its frequency has been increasing relative to embolism. Additional surgery was needed other than thromboembolectomy in 44% (11/25) of the patients who were surgically treated for thrombosis. While the rate of dissolution of the occluding thrombus by intravenous thrombolytic therapy was 55% (6/11 limbs), that by catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy was 90% (9/10 limbs). The limb necrosis or amputation rate and mortality rate after catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy were10% (1/10 limbs) and 14% (1/7 patients), respectively, and were comparable to 9.7% (6/62 limbs), and 9.1% (5/55 patients) after surgery. Of the 30 limbs of 29 patients with femoral or popliteal artery obstruction who underwent surgical therapy, continuous arterial tubing was performed in 10 limbs (33%) with poor peripheral blood flow, but the limb necrosis or amputation rate was high (40%, 4/10 limbs). The limb-saving rate was 100% (4/4 limbs) by catheterdirected thrombolytic therapy. Of the 20 limbs of 14 patients with occluded abdominal aorta or iliac artery, MNMS, shock, and myocardial infarction occurred postoperatively in 1, 2, and 1 patients, respectively. Revascularization could not be achieved by catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy, in 1 patient with category III ischemia preoperatively, and this patient was lost due to progression of necrosis, but in the remaining 4 limbs in 2 patients, the occluded vessel could be revascularized without serious complications and the patients survived with saved limbs. Since catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy is less invasive than surgical terapy, it may be selected as an alternative initial approach to acute arterial occlusion. (Jpn. J. Vasc. Surg., 9 : , 2000) 37
