| Abstract: | We report a case of acute occlusion of the left internal carotid artery successfully treated by withdrawing a large clot into the external carotid artery using a balloon microcatheter and urokinase. This technique may not only reduce the amount of thrombolytic agent required but also lower the incidence of haemorrhagic transformation. Received: 6 September 1999/Accepted: 3 February 2000 |
