  • Title: Iliac artery occlusion: management with intrathrombus streptokinase infusion and angioplasty.
    Author: Auster M, Kadir S, Mitchell SE, Williams GM, Perler BA, Chang R, White RI.
    Journal: Radiology; 1984 Nov; 153(2):385-8. PubMed ID: 6237386.
    Abstract:
    Chronic and acute unilateral iliac artery occlusions were successfully treated in 7 of 8 patients using low-dose intrathrombus streptokinase infusions ranging from 6 to 43 hours in combination with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Angioplasty of an underlying stenosis was performed as soon as clot lysis was maximal and an underlying stenosis was demonstrated. Long-term follow-up to date has been excellent. This approach to unilateral iliac occlusion appears to be safer than previously reported angioplasty of iliac artery occlusion.
