A 33‐year‐old woman with subacute thrombosis of the distal aorta after aorto‐bi‐iliac stenting had local thrombolysis with reteplase in conjunction with systemic abciximab. The infusion was given as a bolus and then continuously for 14 hr by radial artery access with two selective kissing catheters. Patency of the stented segments was achieved with this technique in conjunction with resolution of her clinical symptoms. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;53:264–268. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
