Department of Surgery, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.

Surgical management of acute lower limb ischaemia has been changed by the advent of thrombolytic therapy. Surgery is definitely indicated for severe ischaemia with sensorimotor loss and is best undertaken by vascular surgeons. On-table arteriography and intraoperative streptokinase are useful adjuncts to balloon catheter embolectomy.
