Abstract
Intraarterial thrombolysis is usually contraindicated after abdominal surgery because of the risk of bleeding, However, it is a highly effec tive treatment for embolic acute limb ischemia, particularly for clear ing the distal vessels. We report a case in which intraarterial thromb olysis was safely used 4 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with an acutely ischemic leg due to embolus.
