Abstract

If the appropriate catheterization of the affected vein was not possible because of a narrowed or thrombus-filled venous lumen, successful treatment gets into trouble during catheter directed regional thrombolysis for treatment of deep vein thrombosis. In this situation, intra-arterial thrombolysis can be considered as an alternative treatment, but to the best of our knowledge, only two reports have been described. We present here cases of successful intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with deep vein thrombosis.

하지 심부정맥혈전증 치료를 시행할 때, 이환된 정맥의 직경이 가늘거나 내부가 단단한 혈전으로 가득 차 있어 정맥 내강으로 적절한 도관 삽입이 불가능한 경우, 국소카테터 혈전용해술을 시행할 수 없다. 이러한 경우 동맥을 통한 혈전용해제 투여를 고려할 수 있으나 이에 대한 보고는 2예에 불과하다. 이에 본 저자들은 심부정맥혈전증 치료로 동맥을 통한 혈전용해술을 성공적으로 시행한 증례들을 보고하고자 한다.
