BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to show that auxilliary drug therapy associated with a mechanical desobstruction in acute arterial occlusions will result better treatment. METHOD: The impossibility of complete surgical desobstruction in arterial occlusion, would been a great deal of amputations. The author presents a surgical treatment with Fogarty catheter, local intra arterial thrombolitic therapy and in sequence the use of heparinized cold dialysis soluctions. RESULTS: The little group of patients (n = 9) show us that the use of the fibrinolitic agent with sequencial perfusion of preservation solution gets us surgical success with anatomic and fisiologic preservation of the members.The follow up would been 48,77 months (24-76 months). CONCLUSION: The local intra arterial thrombolitic therapy and the use of heparinized cold dialysis solution, associated at the mechanical desobstruction with Fogarty catheter presents 88,88% of success in cases treated.
