Abstract:
Reported in this paper is experience obtained from coronary diagnosis and coronary fibrinolysis in acute myocardial infarction. Local fibrinolysis was applied to 69 patients, with 2 X 75,000 units of streptokinase in 30 minutes being the dose for orientation. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was added in those cases in which therapeutic fibrinolysis proved to be insufficient. An additional bypass operation was required by nine patients.
