Pulse-spray pharmacomechanical thrombolysis of thrombosed hemodialysis access grafts: long-term experience and comparison of original and current techniques.

Abstract

Pulse-spray pharmacomechanical thrombolysis is a reliable, rapid, and safe method for recanalization of occluded dialysis grafts. The current technique has been proven as safe and effective as the original technique but offers the advantage of a significant reduction in the time required for the infusion of thrombolytic agent.
