Pharmacoeconomic considerations in peripheral arterial thrombolytic therapy.
Intraarterial thrombolytic therapy with urokinase (UK) offers documented advantages to alternatives for treating both subacute and the initial presentation of acute peripheral arterial occlusion (PAO), including reduced morbidity and mortality. Treatment with intraarterial UK does not increase overall health care costs; hospital length of stay is either similar to that with other therapies (acu...
متن کاملThrombolytic Therapy for Arterial Disease
Pearls 1. Patient workup and evaluation is key to a successful intervention while limiting complications. In addition to physical exam and laboratory evaluation, review of prior imaging studies and surgical interventions is important to understanding the etiology of the occlusion and to guide therapy. 2. Use of arterial thrombolysis should be avoided in patients with evidence of irreversible li...
متن کاملPrevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. Diabetes is the main risk factor for PAD. Material and Methods: To assess the prevalence of PAD, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. Vascular assessment was done by measuring ...
متن کاملIntra-Arterial Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Basilar Occlusion
Acute thromboembolic occlusion of the basilar artery accounts for 6% to 10% of large-vessel stroke in humans. Because of the brain region supplied by this artery, the case fatality rate is the highest for all ischemic stroke subtypes, ranging from 40% to 86%. Patients who undergo successful recanalization of the basilar artery by intra-arterial thrombolysis have lower mortality of 39%. Consider...
