OBJECTIVE: This feasibility study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of intraarterial urokinase combined with abciximab, an IV platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, in peripheral arterial thrombosis. CONCLUSION: The administration of a highly potent glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor in conjunction with intraarterial fibrinolysis was safe in 14 patients. One distal embolization and no major bleeding occurred. The primary success rate was 100%. Treatment times ranged from 50 min to 8 hr. We found a reocclusion rate of 7% (1/14) at intermediate follow-up.
