The patient was an 82-year-old woman with the symptoms of axillary artery thrombosis. Catheter-directed thrombolysis was performed and thrombolytic medication was injected via a catheter. In addition, a low dose of heparin was infused intravenously. Following treatment, clinical symptoms were normal. The repeated angiography indicated a good blood flow to the left upper distal limb. Minimally invasive methods, such as catheter-based thrombolytic therapy may be a suitable alternative for patients with viable limb acute ischemia.</span></span></p> Axillary artery, Subclavian artery, Thrombolytic therapy, Thrombosis 246 250 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2477-4&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Fateme Borzoee Borzoee75026@yahoo.com 5200319475328460064089 5200319475328460064089 No Dept. of Operating Room, School of Paramedics, Sabzevar University of Medical Sciences, Sabzevar, Iran Mehdi Sajedi Khanian dr.msajedi@yahoo.com 5200319475328460064090 5200319475328460064090 No Cardiovascular Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
