    AbstractAcute ischemia of an upper extremity occurs less frequently than vascular events of the leg and accounts for 15%-32% of all cases. Embolectomy provides prompt and effective treatment in the majority of cases. Recurrence of embolism and failed reperfusion can result in poor outcomes, even extremity loss. Adjunctive managements become important in this patient group. In this report, we present percutaneous intraarterial drip tissue plasminogen activator infusion to rescue the extremity in a patient with small cell lung cancer who experienced thromboembolism an additional six times following embolectomy.
