Arterial embolism and fibrinolysis. A case report
Medicinal lysis with an intra-arterial streptokinase infusion was used in a patient who had suffered multiple embolic occlusions 2 weeks after a myocardial infarction. The good outcome, as verified by arteriography, and the experience of other groups, makes it clear that there is a specific place for this therapy in such patients. Concomitant arterial stenosis should be treated by transluminal angioplasty to prevent re-thrombosis.
