Abstract
Total occlusion of a right femoropopliteal reinforced Dacron bypass graft in a 75-year-old man was manifested by at rest right calf and foot pain. The patient was treated using a combination of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with streptokinase infusion. The graft was reopened and dilated successfully, resulting in total abatement of the patient's symptoms. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty may be an important alternative in treatment of patients with occluded bypass grafts.Entities:
