Local intraarterial thrombolysis in vertebrobasilar thromboembolic disease
H Zeumer, W Hacke and EB Ringelstein
The poor prognosis of basilar artery occlusion is well known. Systemic anticoagulation rarely prevents a lethal outcome. A new therapeutic approach involves selective perfusion of streptokinase through the vertebrobasilar artery via a coaxial catheter system. Three of five reported cases demonstrated successful vascular recanalization with clinical improvement.
