Thrombolytic therapy has been an established and effective treatment for acute limb ischemia for years [
1‐
3]. The treatment options for this life-threatening condition are “open” surgery, percutaneous endovascular treatment, and intravenous (i.v.) systemic thrombolysis. Current percutaneous treatment includes catheter-mediated infusion of fibrinolytic agents (pharmacological thrombolysis), pharmacomechanical thrombolysis, catheter-mediated thrombus aspiration, mechanical thrombectomy, and a combination of the above [
4‐
10]. This study was designed to quality assurance guidelines concerning the treatment of acute and subacute arterial limb ischemia, with the use of percutaneous catheter-directed pharmacological thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy or a combination of both. …
