The authors report their three-year experience with application of thrombolytic treatment in 31 patients with vascular occlusions of the lower extremities. They were successful in two thirds of the patients. The authors analyze the advantages and shortcomings of systemic or selective administration of antithrombotic therapy. Concurrent administration of hyperbaric oxygen is a rational therapy.
