Abstract
Combined thrombectomy and angioplasty was performed for 19 thrombosed polytetrafluoroethylene grafts. Patency for more than 1 week was achieved in 16 of the 19 grafts (84%). The average duration of graft function after angioplasty in all 19 grafts was 7.1 months (range, 0-32.3 months). Eleven of the 19 grafts (58%) were functioning 5 months after the procedure; seven are still functioning. Combined thrombectomy and angioplasty offers a viable alternative to thrombolytic therapy or complete surgical revision.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
