Abstract

There are limited therapeutic options for the resolution of digital artery occlusions. Intra-arterial thrombolysis with anticoagulative and thrombolytic drugs successfully restored the blood flow in the affected digital arteries.

Keywords: Digital artery occlusions; intra-arterial thrombolysis; polycythemia vera; upper extremity ischemia.
