[Spontaneous arterial recanalization--a case report].
Spontaneous thrombolysis with recanalisation of peripheral arterial vessels is a well-known, albeit rare phenomenon. The probable mechanisms of this phenomenon is the activation of local fibrinolytic processes by local mediators of the vascular endothelial cells. Vascular stenoses of atherosclerotic origin are also subject to regression, depending on the plasma LDL level. Reangiography is indicated for determining further therapy planning if there is a change in clinical signs towards either improvement or deterioration. Reangiography is imperative if the previous angiography was performed before more than three months.
