Abstract:
In this study, we successfully performed local thrombolysis in 6 patients with peripheral arterial occlusions by using a novel high-molecular-weight urokinase. Mean duration of recanalization was 12.8 hours, mean fibrinogen consumption was relatively low (42%), reptilase time was relatively long (mean increase by 47%). These findings would suggest that the substance is highly effective, though systemic adverse reactions are mild.
