A critically ill 20-month-old white male with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cor pulmonale, and intolerance to enteral feeds, required a left percutaneous subclavian Broviac catheter. Echocardiogram showed a right atrial thrombus, resolution of which was demonstrated after infusion of streptokinase through the Broviac catheter for 16 hours. The catheter remained in place, functioning well, for a further 4 months. The patient suffered no bleeding complications, and was spared the prohibitive risk of right atrial thrombectomy. This use of streptokinase has not previously been reported.
