- Abstract
Thrombolytic drugs may be an alternative therapy for acute limb ischemia in patients who are not surgically treatable. Two cases of acute limb ischemia managed successfully with a sequential intraarterial infusion of urokinase and recombinant-type tissue plasminogen activator (rt-TPA) are reported. The positive results suggest the two drugs have a synergistic action. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the interactions between these thrombolytic agents.
