摘要
A case of septic arthritis of the knee complicating intra-arterial thrombolysis is reported. Septic complications following the use of intravascular catheters are usually relatively minor. This serious case and the discussion that arises highlights the need for shortening the duration of intravascular thrombolysis regimes. © 1993 Grune & Stratton Ltd.
