Thrombolysis of occluded infrainguinal vein grafts: Predictors of outcome

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence graft patency and limb salvage rates after thrombolysis of occluded infrainguinal vein grafts.Methods: The records of patients who underwent percutaneous catheter-directed thrombolysis of occluded infrainguinal vein bypass grafts at our institution between 1985 and 1995 were reviewed. Life table analysis was used to determine survival and patency differences. Univariate...
