A good result can be expected if there was good run off after the initial angioplasty. (a) Early re-thrombosis of right superficial femoral artery angioplasty. (b) Thrombolysis of angioplasty segment, (c) Successful outcome after thrombolysis and further angioplasty (c) The pathology, the best management and the outcome are significantly different for patients with cardiac embolism compared to native vessel or graft thrombosis. The risk of embolism is to life, with a 30-day mortality rate of 17% and an amputation rate of about 13%, whereas for thrombosis mortality is less at 9% but the risk of amputation much higher at 28% 2 3 .

The most important method of improving outcome with intravenous thrombolysis is careful case selection: —Treat recent arterial occlusions with no neurological deficit. —Adhere to the NIH guidelines and exclude high risk cases. —Avoid unnecessary arterial/venous puncture and invasive procedures. With knowledge of clinical details as outlined above, the risks for each individual case can be assessed, but treatment of those at high risk is still justified if there is no alternative, providing informed consent is obtained.
It should also be understood that arteriography, thrombolysis and surgery may all be required as part of an overall treatment plan and that success cannot be guaranteed. Alternative methods of managing the situation should be referred to and the reasons for recommending thrombolysis should be explained. The patient and his family should feel that they have had the opportunity to be involved in these decisions. Some prefer to accept advice with minimal explanation but we must always remember that it is the patient and family who must live with the consequences.
