[Use of autologous veins and streptokinase in vascular complications after replantation of the right forearm].
The authors present the case-history of a 20-year-old worker with an amputation of the forearm in the distal third. After shortening of the bone by 2.5 cm and osteosynthesis by means of grooved splints the blood vessels of the forearm were reconstructed by means of three autoveins. After 12 hours venous and arterial thrombosis developed. During reoperation the thrombotic portions of the vessels were resected and were again reconstructed by means of new autovenous grafts. Streptokinase was instilled into the amputate via the ulnar artery. During the subsequent postoperative period no serious vascular complications developed. Lymphorrhea persisted for some two weeks. To achieve satisfactory function of the hand a corrective operation will be necessary.
