The most common lesion treated in the authors center is femoral artery thrombosis complicating catheterization, especially for balloon angioplasty of the aortic arch or aortic valve. These procedures require the insertion of a large balloon, which is currently mounted on large shafts. Initially a local low-dose approach from the opposite groin was preferred, but now systemic therapy is frequently used if there are no contraindications. Local low-dose thrombolysis is used for thrombosis of Blalock-Taussig shunts, dialysis fistula, pulmonary artery thrombosis, iliofemoral thrombophlebitis, aortic thrombosis in neonates, and brachial artery occlusion after supracondylar fracture.
