Thrombolytic therapy. For pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis. 1982

A A Fowler, and T M Hyers

Thrombolytic agents are effective in acute pulmonary embolism and thrombosis in the popliteal and proximal deep veins. Patients with recent thromboemboli, as manifested by onset of symptoms within the previous five days, respond best. Bleeding complications can be greatly reduced by proper patient selection and by avoidance of invasive procedures. Thrombolytic agents are easily administered, and laboratory monitoring has been simplified. Anticoagulants must be given when thrombolytic therapy is completed, since the thrombotic tendency probably still exists.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.

D013300 Streptokinase Streptococcal fibrinolysin . An enzyme produced by hemolytic streptococci. It hydrolyzes amide linkages and serves as an activator of plasminogen. It is used in thrombolytic therapy and is used also in mixtures with streptodornase (STREPTODORNASE AND STREPTOKINASE). EC 3.4.-.
