title: Fibrinolytic therapy in peripheral arterial grafts utilizing the "crossed two catheter" technique.
abstract: Direct puncture of a thrombosed lower extremity bypass graft may be the only angiographic access to the graft when it cannot be opacified or cannulated by conventional angiographic techniques. In 1 patient, fibrinolytic therapy was performed from this approach using the "crossed two catheter" technique previously described for thrombosed dialysis grafts.
