Successful intraarterial thrombolysis of an ischemic limb four days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Intraarterial thrombolysis is usually contraindicated after abdominal surgery because of the risk of bleeding. However, it is a highly effective treatment for embolic acute limb ischemia, particularly for clearing the distal vessels. We report a case in which intraarterial thrombolysis was safely used 4 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with an acutely ischemic leg due to embolus.
