After Fibrinolysis

Coagulation and fibrinolysis after injury.

intraventricular haemorrhage . Fibrinolysis in cerebrospinal fluid after

Concentrations of cross linked fibrin degradation products were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid from five 'normal' preterm infants (median 102 ng/ml), four preterm infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (median 315 ng/ ml), and five infants with progressive posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (median 1000 ng/ml). Serial samples of cerebrospinal fluid from one infant showed a peak con...

Systemic coagulation and fibrinolysis after laparoscopic and open gastric bypass.

HYPOTHESIS Laparoscopic gastric bypass (GBP) induces a postoperative hypercoagulable state that is similar or reduced compared with open GBP. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Between May 1999 and June 2000, 70 patients were randomly assigned to laparoscopic (n = 36) or open (n = 34) GBP. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis consisted of antiembolism stockings and sequential pneumat...

Thrombectomy after failed fibrinolysis in prosthetic tricuspid valve thrombosis.

Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a complication basically related to mechanical prostheses and in the majority of cases is due to suboptimal anticoagulation. In addition, the use of mechanical prosthesis in the tricuspid position is limited by the high rate of prosthetic valve thrombosis due to the slower flow in the right heart cavities. It was traditionally considered that fibrinolysis was the ...

Thrombotic microangiopathy and fibrinolysis after hump-nosed viper envenomation.

Massive haemobilia due to rupture of a portal cavernoma is very rare. In our patient the cause for portal vein thrombosis remains obscure in the absence of umbilical sepsis, severe dehydration or a hypercoaguable state. Cavernous transformation has been documented even within a few days of the portal vein getting obstructed; and inflammation resulting from enteritis is a recognised cause of por...
