Abstract
Since the introduction of selective catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy for vascular occlusions in the 1970s, the clinical applications of this form of therapy have grown to include a host of different vascular structures. This chapter will review the salient features of catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy of the native and the bypass components of a peripheral arterial system using clinical cases.
