An observational study in Arterial Occlusion Mesenteric Artery Superior, sponsored by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Taiwan. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-12-30.
Sponsored by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital · Observational
Patients with acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion were included in this study. The clinical presentation and effect of the recanalization of the SMA was analyzed on follow-up angiography.
Thirteen patients with acute SMA occlusion who underwent intra-arterial urokinase thrombolysis between 2008 and 2020 were retrospectively evaluated.
Clinically, the abdominal pain and the effect of the SMA on angiography will be compared in response and non-response groups.

Exclusion Criteria:
Seven patients were complete occlusion and 6 patients were incomplete occlusion and all underwent thrombolysis with intra-arterial urokinase and the outcome was analysed..
Procedure: intra-arterial urokinase thrombolysis
Under local anaesthesia, the right femoral artery was punctured in accordance with the Seldinger technique, and a 6-Fr sheath, 10 cm in length, was implanted. Selective catheterization of the SMA was performed with 4-Fr catheter. The SMA angiography was performed to identify the filling defect. Thrombolysis was performed using a 5-Fr multiple-sideport infusion catheter (100cm with sideport of 7cm, 14 ports or 100cm with sideport of 15cm, 30 ports, Cook, Bloomington, IN, U.S.A). The tip of the microcatheter was embedded in the thromboembolism, which was fragmented at the time of thrombolysis. Thrombolysis was performed locally in the SMA with a bolus of urokinase
Thrombolysis with intra-arterial urokinase for acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion: Outcome analysis
Degree of patency and appearance of the SMA will be analyzed in the follow-up angiography.
Time frame: Daily series follow-up angiography in the next 72 hours after thrombolysis with intra-arterial urokinase.
