Outline
• Basic principle of Intra operative thrombolysis
• Indication and rational use
• Technique
• Outcome
• Summary
Cronenwett, J. L. and K. W. Johnston (2014). Rutherford's Vascular Surgery E-Book, Elsevier Health Sciences.
The basic principle
• Intravenous infusion for acute arterial occlusion :
is minimally effective and usually not recommended
• The potential for effective thrombus dissolution in this
setting is minimal.
• Intrathrombus infusion protects the plasminogen
activator and plasmin from circulating inhibitors.
Thrombolytic agent
Objectives
•
The primary objectives : dissolve the occluding
thrombus, restore perfusion, and allow evaluation of
the underlying cause of the arterial or graft thrombosis.
• Additional advantages of thrombolytic therapy include the
following:
1. Gain patency of an occluded nondiseased inflow source
2. Lyse thrombi in the distal vasculature
3. Convert a major vascular reconstruction into a limited, less
extensive procedure
Objectives
4. Prevent arterial intimal injury from balloon catheter
thrombectomy
5. Restore the patency of branch vessels
6. Reduce the extent of amputation

Indications for Intra-arterial
Thrombolytics
• Lower Extremity Ischemia
STILE (Surgery vs. Thrombolytics for Ischemia of LE)
- 393 pts with native arterial or graft occlusion
- tPA 0.05 mg/kg/hr for 12 hours or urokinase (250K bolus,
then 4000 u/min for 4 hour, then 2000 u/min for up to 36 hrs)
Thrombolysis Group
- Failure to pass catheter in 28% of patients (Treatment Failure)
- Acute Ischemia (<14 days)
- Lower amputation and shorter hospital stays
- 55% had a reduction in surgical procedure
Surgery Group
- Chronic Ischemia (>14 days)
- Less recurrent ischemia, lower amputation rates

prospective randomized trial." Journal of vascular surgery 24(4): 513-523.
Indications for Intra-arterial
Thrombolytics
• Lower Extremity Ischemia
STILE Conclusions
Surgery was safer and more effective in patients
with symptoms < 6 months duration, >14 days
Lytics showed improved amputation free survival
in patients with <14 days of ischemia
No difference in outcome for thrombolytic agent

prospective randomized trial." Journal of vascular surgery 24(4): 513-523.
Indications for Intraoperative
Thrombolytics
30% of embolectomies are incomplete
Residual intravascular defects seen on
completion angiography
Further mechanical manipulation increases
thrombogenicity
Moore, W. S. (2012). Vascular and Endovascular Surgery E-Book: A Comprehensive Review, Elsevier
Health Sciences.
Rational use
• The rationale of intraoperative thrombolysis is post
thromboembolectomy that residual thrombus in the
originally occluded artery as well as thrombus in
runoff and branch vessels inaccessible to the balloon
catheter can be lysed.

Safety of Intraoperative
Intraarterial Thrombolysis
• Ref : Regional and systemic effects of intraoperative
intraarterial urokinase infusion during lower
extremity revascularization in a multicenter, randomized,
blinded, and placebo-controlled trial by Comerota et al8
studied
• 134 patients were randomized to receive either placebo
(saline) or one of three different doses of urokinase
• Blood samples were drawn from the ipsilateral femoral
and arm veins to compare the regional and systemic
effects of the fibrinolytic.
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb ischemia? Seminars in vascular
surgery, Elsevier.
• Endpoints were designed to evaluate
the degree of plasminogen activation
regional and systemic breakdown of fibrinogen and
fibrin (from intraluminal thrombus)
the degree to which a dose-response relationship
the safety of intraoperative intraarterially infused
urokinase.

• no significant decline in plasma fibrinogen,
• no bleeding complications were observed.
• This study confirms the safety of intraoperative
thrombolysis.
• Patients receiving intraoperative intraarterial
urokinase had significantly better survival compared
to placebo-treated patients.

ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Bolus Intraarterial Thrombolysis
• 2 to 8 mg rt-PA is infused directly into the artery in a
volume of saline generally 15 to 50 cc, depending
upon the level of infusion.
• After a wait period of 15 to 30 minutes, a repeat
arteriogram is then performed . The arteriotomy is
then closed and perfusion restored.
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Continuous Intraarterial Infusion
• Indication : persistent thrombus, the arteriotomy is
closed and perfusion restored.
• A small infusion catheter is placed and advanced distally
for the intraarterial infusion of the lytic agent.
• This is performed for 20 to 30 minutes
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Manual High-Dose Isolated Limb
Perfusion
• Multi-vessel acute occlusion in the runoff bed
• single or even double bolus dose of thrombolytic
agent is likely to be inadequate.
• A therapeutic continuous infusion were used
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
• Delivers maximal doses of a plasminogen activator into the
runoff bed.
• The patient is fully anticoagulated
• The proximal tourniquet is inflated to suprasystolic pressure.
• Catheters are properly positioned through an appropriate
arteriotomy to deliver high doses of the plasminogen activator
into the distal arterial bed.
• Thrombolytic agent is infused directly into the arterial tree with
a slow hand infusion for 60 minutes. A high dose of rt-PA, up
to 100 mg in 500 to 1,000 mL saline, can be used safely.

ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
The following must be checked:
• Limb viability – perfusion, pulses, Doppler signal,
movement and sensation
• Urine output – the patient must be kept adequately
hydrated. If necessary, IV fluids should be given and the
patient catheterized
• Pulse, BP and temperature – 4-hourly
• Daily full blood count (FBC), coagulation screen and
fibrinogen, urea and electrolytes, glucose
• Analgesia should be reviewed regularly. Intramuscular
injections must not be given.
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Endpoints
• Thrombolysis is continued until the clot has cleared
and flow has been restored.
• Deterioration in the clinical status of the limb
mandates urgent review and discussion
• If bleeding occurs, stop the infusion and review the
patient immediately.
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Complication
• CVA: most serious - intracerebral hemorrhage (0.5-
0.7%) major risk factors : age > 75 years ,hypertension
,female gender , prior use of anticoagulants
• Significant bleeding: consult a haematologist for
advice if bleeding persists after the infusion is stopped.
Check the clotting and try to stop early before the
patient becomes unstable.
Comerota, A. J. and R. Sidhu (2009). Can intraoperative thrombolytic therapy assist with the management of acute limb
ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
• Acute clinical deterioration with increased
pain: reassess, this is often due to distal embolization
of thrombus which occurs in up to 5% of patients.
• Reperfusion syndrome: this is caused when there
has been prolonged and severe ischaemia.
Complication

Long term result
Depend mainly on
- correctable lesion is identified
- the location of the occlusion.
Larger vessel occlusions resolved better,
an expected patency of 60% at 2 years
lesion at level of popliteal occlusions have a
lower long-term patency of about 30% at 2 years.
- If a correctable lesion is identified and appropriately
treated, long-term results are significantly improved

ischemia? Seminars in vascular surgery, Elsevier.
Summary
• In summary, an intraoperative fibrinolytic infusion
indication in acute limb ischemia when residual thrombus
inaccessible to the balloon catheter or persistent ischemia
after restoration of flow.
• Although the best method of delivery and most
appropriate dosage have not been fully determined,
• Reported clinical experience has allowed guidelines that
permit the clinician to obtain the benefits of fibrinolytic
infusion in these difficult cases with both safety and
efficacy.

Notas del editor

  1. And this is the example case of Today ALI Indication and rational use of intra op thrombolysis in this patient
  2. thrombolytic therapy is the activation of fibrin-bound plasminogen.’ The fibrin bond of the plasminogen contained within the thrombus makes the plasminogen molecule activation by the delivered plasminogen activator. . Once the plasminogen activator contacts and binds to fibrin-bound plasminogen, plasmin is produced locally,stimulating lysis OF THE THROMBUS
  3. intravenous infusion for acute arterial occlusion : is minimally effective and usually not recommended because the plasminogen activator delivered intravenously would have minimal surface contact with the occluding thrombus. The potential for effective thrombus dissolution in this setting is minimal. Intrathrombus infusion protects the plasminogen activator and plasmin from circulating inhibitors.
  4. The most commonly used plasminogen activators are streptokinase (SK),urokinase (UK),recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), prourokinase (proUK) (single-chainUK plasminogen activator),and acylated SK.
  5. of the infusion of the fibrinolytic agent are to dissolve the occluding thrombus, restore perfusion, and allow evaluation of the underlying cause of the arterial or graft thrombosis.
  6. 4. Prevent arterial intimal injury from balloon catheter thrombectomy 5. Restore the patency of branch vessels inaccessible to mechanical thrombectomy 6. Reduce the extent of amputation
  7. the viability of the ischemic tissues should be ensured. Candidates for intraarterial lytic therapy must be able to tolerate ischemia for the duration of the infusion. . Indications  High surgical risk of morbidity/mortality  Poor surgical outcome  Multiple previous surgeries  Adjunct to surgery
  8. In a prospective study of 80 consecutive patients receiving intraarterial urokinase for acute (<14 days) ischemia, successful lysis was accomplished in 71% (57 patients). Most of these patients required additional adjunctive procedures to maintain patency; only 28% of patients avoided the need for additional interventions. Diabetics fared signifcantly worse compared with nondiabetics. Most important, placement of the catheter within the substance of the thrombus was the best predictors of success.
  9. Thrombosis after balloon angioplasty is relatively infrequent, but when it occurs, local thrombolytic therapy is highly effective in restoring patency. The onset of occlusion is usually within 24 hours of dilatation; thus, the thrombotic material is fresh and highly sensitive to fibrinolysis.
  10. Determine the Mechanism of Occlusion More effective in peripheral embolization (80%) than thrombotic occlusions (50-60%) that emboli secondary to atrial fbrillation may have well-organized components and thus be resistant to fbrinolysis. For these reasons, surgical embolectomy is preferred for proximal (iliac, femoral) emboli secondary to atrial fbrillation
  11. . If the embolus is secondary to a recent myocardial infarction (i.e., the surgical risk is increased and the embolus is usually fresh clot), intraarterial fbrinolytic therapy should be considered.
  12. Acute Graft Occlusion Prosthetic Grafts  Adjunct to convert urgent surgical therapy to elective revision  Thrombectomy treatment of choice Autogenous Vein Grafts a trial of lytic therapy is an attractive alternative if the event is recent.  75% success if thrombosis <14 days old However, long saphenous vein grafts to tibial vessels in the lower third of the leg or ankle are less responsive to lytic therapy; casued these area is very low-flow grafts limited supplies of plasminogen
  13. Lower Extremity Ischemia STILE (Surgery vs. Thrombolytics for Ischemia of LE) - 393 pts with native arterial or graft occlusion - tPA 0.05 mg/kg/hr for 12 hours or urokinase (250K bolus, then 4000 u/min for 4 hour, then 2000 u/min for up to 36 hrs) Thrombolysis Group - Failure to pass catheter in 28% of patients (Treatment Failure) - Acute Ischemia (<14 days) - Lower amputation and shorter hospital stays - 55% had a reduction in surgical procedure Surgery Group - Chronic Ischemia (>14 days) - Less recurrent ischemia, lower amputation rates
  14. Lower Extremity Ischemia STILE Conclusions  Surgery was safer and more effective in patients with symptoms < 6 months duration, >14 days  Lytics showed improved amputation free survival in patients with <14 days of ischemia  No difference in outcome for tPA vs. urokinase
  15. Comerota et al8 studied regional and systemic effects of intraoperative intraarterial urokinase infusion during lower extremity revascularization in a multicenter, randomized, blinded, and placebo-controlled trial by. In this study, 134 patients were randomized to receive either placebo (saline) or one of three different doses of urokinase Blood samples were drawn from the ipsilateral femoral and arm veins to compare the regional and systemic effects of the fibrinolytic.
  16. no significant decline in plasma fibrinogen, further substantiating the absence of a systemic fibrinolytic state. Importantly, no bleeding complications were observed. This study confirms the safety of intraoperative thrombolysis. An interesting observation regarding operative mortality was made. Patients receiving intraoperative intraarterial urokinase had significantly better survival compared to placebo-treated patients.
  17. management strategy for treating patients with intraoperative thrombolysis.
  18. Following Routine Thromboembolectomy 2 to 8 mg rt-PA is infused directly into the artery in a volume of saline sufficient to fill the vascular bed being infused, generally 15 to 50 cc, depending upon the level of infusion. After a wait period of 15 to 30 minutes, a repeat arteriogram is then performed and a second infusion can be administered if needed. The arteriotomy is then closed and perfusion restored
  19. Indication : persistent thrombus, the arteriotomy is closed and perfusion restored. A small infusion catheter is placed and advanced distally for the intraarterial infusion of the lytic agent. This is performed for 20 to 30 minutes
  20. Indication Multi-vessel acute occlusion in the runoff bed single or even double bolus dose of thrombolytic agent is likely to be inadequate. a therapeutic continuous infusion were used
  21. This high-dose isolated limb perfusion technique delivers maximal doses of a plasminogen activator into the runoff bed. The patient is fully anticoagulated The proximal tourniquet is inflated to suprasystolic pressure. Catheters are properly positioned through an appropriate arteriotomy to deliver high doses of the plasminogen activator into the distal arterial bed. Thrombolytic agent is infused directly into the arterial tree with a slow hand infusion for 60 minutes. A high dose of rt-PA, up to 100 mg in 500 to 1,000 mL saline, can be used safely. Repeat arteriography is performed to assess results
  22. The intraoperative arteriogram after balloon catheter thrombectomy of the popliteal and tibial vessels shows no perfusion into the foot. After arteriotomy closure, the patient’s foot remained pale and cool with no Doppler signals at the ankle. Additional thrombus could not be mechanically removed. (B) The patients’ limb was elevated A sterile blood pressure cuff was placed on the distal thigh and inflated to 250 mmHg. The popliteal vein was cannulated with a red rubber catheter and drained into a basin. Catheters were placed into the anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries. One million IU of urokinase was infused into the lower leg in a volume of 1 L saline (500,000 IU/500 mL in each tibial artery) over 20 minutes. After completion of urokinase infusion, the limb was flushed with a heparin and saline solution. The red rubber catheter was removed and the venotomy was closed primarily. The arterial catheters were removed and the arteriotomy was closed with a patch. (C) A postinfusion arteriogram showed significant improvement of perfusion to the foot. The patient had a palpable dorsalis pedis pulse and a pink foot after wound closure
  23. Thrombolysis is continued until the clot has cleared and flow has been restored. Lytic stagnation is when there is no clearing of thrombus in between check angiograms and is an indication to stop the procedure. Deterioration in the clinical status of the limb mandates urgent review and discussion and, depending on the cause, may necessitate urgent surgical revascularization. If bleeding occurs, stop the infusion and review the patient immediately. 
  24. Complications increase with the age of the patient, the duration of treatment and the dose of the lytic agent. Stop the infusion and the heparin if a complication develops. CVA: most serious - intracerebral hemorrhage (0.5-0.7%) major risk factors : age > 75 years ,hypertension ,female gender , prior use of anticoagulants perform an urgent CT scan if there are signs suggestive of CVA. If there is thrombotic CVA, seek expert neurological opinion and discuss whether to continue with thrombolysis; haemorrhage means game over. • Significant bleeding: consult a haematologist for advice if bleeding persists after the infusion is stopped. Check the clotting and try to stop early before the patient becomes unstable. Resuscitate the patient with blood and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) as necessary.
  25. Acute clinical deterioration with increased pain: reassess, this is often due to distal embolization of thrombus which occurs in up to 5% of patients. Macroemboli may lyse spontaneously or can be aspirated. Microemboli are much more serious and may cause trash foot. • Reperfusion syndrome: this is caused when there has been prolonged and severe ischaemia. Adult respiratory distress syndrome and renal failure are common sequelae and there is a high mortality.
  26. Intraoperative intraarterial use of thrombolytics can potentially dissolve residual thrombus, leading to improved revascularization. Parent et al4 reported the successful intraoperative use : 17 patients with angiographic evidence of residual thrombus in infrapopliteal arteries following operative thromboembolectomy. With a dwell time of 30 minutes, they achieved successful lysis in 88% of patients. Norem et al5 treated 19 patients having balloon catheter thromboembolectomy with intraoperative intraarterial streptokinase infusion. Following infusion, additional thrombus was retrieved with a subsequent balloon catheter thromboembolectomy, accompanied by angiographic improvement in all patients.
