Summary
Local urokinase injection effectively treated arterial thrombosis, including popliteal and bypass graft thromboses. This interventional radiology approach achieved successful arterial recanalization and restored patency in all cases within 72 hours.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Cardiovascular Medicine
Background:
- Arterial thrombosis in bypass grafts and popliteal arteries poses a significant clinical challenge.
- Timely restoration of blood flow is crucial to prevent limb ischemia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of local urokinase injection for treating recent arterial thrombosis.
- To assess outcomes in patients with popliteal and prosthetic arterial thromboses.
Main Methods:
- Eight patients with recent arterial thrombosis (popliteal and prosthetic bypasses) were treated.
- Percutaneous catheterization with local urokinase injection (bolus and infusion) was performed.
- Adjunctive heparin therapy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) were utilized in select cases.
Main Results:
- Complete arterial recanalization was achieved in all eight cases within 72 hours.
- Successful patency was restored in 2 aorto-bifemoral bypasses and 2 popliteal thromboses.
- One of four femoropopliteal bypasses achieved recanalization.
Conclusions:
- Local urokinase administration is an effective treatment for acute arterial thrombosis.
- This minimally invasive approach offers a viable option for restoring arterial patency.
- Further studies are warranted to optimize treatment protocols for bypass grafts.

01:03IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region
2.0K
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

02:40The Eukaryotic Promoter Region
19.0K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

969
The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...

Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

1.5K
In IR spectroscopy, signals produced by the X−H bonds (such as C−H, O−H, or N−H) can be observed in the frequency range of 2700–4000 cm–1. The C−H stretching vibration forms sharp bands in the region 2850–3000 cm–1. The presence of the O−H stretching vibration leads to the forming of an absorption band in the frequency range 3650–3200 cm−1. At the same time, N−H stretching can be confirmed by absorption bands in...
