title: [Treatment of acute arterial occulusions with streptokinase].
abstract: Of the patients treated within the first week after thrombo-embolic occulusion of the arteries of the lower limb 45% achieve total disobliteration with thrombolytic therapy. The authors discuss the factors influencing disobliteration, as well as the mortality and complications of thrombolytic treatment using streptokinase. Surgical treatment (the Fogarty catheter) is complementary. Choice of treatment is made by a combination of factors which include the age of the patient, the site and extent of the block, the amount of neuro-muscular ischaemia, and the general condition of the patient.
