Thrombolysis with low dose tissue plasminogen activator.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of vena caval thrombosis in infants were successfully treated with low dose (0.01-0.05 mg/kg/hour) local infusions of tissue plasminogen activator after conventional anticoagulant treatment had been unsuccessful. This approach is useful for clots associated with indwelling intravascular catheters, and a low dose infusion of tissue plasminogen activator as a regional application is recommended to achieve clot lysis with minimal systemic effects.

Introduction: Stroke causes death and disability in patients throughout the world. At present, the only FDA- approved drug for ischemic stroke is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt- PA). Unfortunately, rtPA can cause intracerebral hemorrhage and must use within limited time window (within 3-4.5 hour after onset of stroke). Ultrasound with rtPA loaded liposomes (rtPA_L...

PURPOSE To compare results of low-dose tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) in children with arterial and venous thrombi relative to standard published dosing. METHODS Subjects consisted of all consecutive children with objectively confirmed thrombi for whom TPA thrombolysis was clinically ordered by the authors. Initial dosing used published standard dose (0.1-0.5 mg/kg per hour). With experie...

BACKGROUND The burden of stroke is becoming an important issue in Asian countries, where half of the world's population lives. In Western populations, standard-dose intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg administered up to 4.5 h following acute ischaemic stroke has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. However, the dosage of tPA in Asian populations varies, par...

Despite the development of Intravenous thrombolysis with tissue Plasminogen Activator (IVtPA) guidelines in each affiliated stroke center, protocol violations may be observed in each hospital with IVtPA facilities. An extensive search of scientific electronic databases including PubMed, OVID, Index Medicus, Index Copernicus, Google, ISI, and Scopus was performed with keywords of Thrombolysis, O...

A simple venous thrombosis model in rabbits was used for the quantitative evaluation of the thrombolytic effect of human extrinsic (tissue-type) plasminogen activator as compared with urokinase.A thrombus was formed in an isolated segment of the jugular vein from a mixture of (125)I-labeled fibrinogen, whole rabbit blood, and thrombin. In order to immobilize the thrombus during lysis, it was fo...
