Background and Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is caused due to coronary artery occlusion and divided into two forms of ST-elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine the success rate of treatment with primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) versus thrombolysis in the establishment of perfusion and to evaluate the sho...

the important role of reperfusion therapies in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is well documented. however, reperfusion therapies can initiate inflammatory response and may damage the myocardium. the purpose of current study was to compare the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in the setting of st elevation myocardial inf...

a common complication of prosthetic heart valves is thrombosis. although the incidence of prosthetic valve thrombosis (pvt) in the tricuspid position is high, there are not enough data on the management of it, in contrast to left-sided pvt. here, we describe three cases of tricuspid pvt with three different management approaches: thrombolytic therapy; close observation with oral anticoagulants;...

background : treatment delay in the management of st-elevation myocardial infarction conversely correlates with prognosis and survival of the patients. this study aimed to investigate factors associated with delay in the thrombolytic therapy of these patients in tehran. methods : between 2007 and 2010, the interval between the self-reported time of the onset of symptoms and initiation of the th...

renal vein thrombosis (rvt) is the most frequent vascular abnormality in newborns, but rarely seen in adults. rvt is an acute problem, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches should be done immediately. surgical thrombectomy is not a rational approach and the treatment of choice is conservative management and thrombolytic therapy. we present a 45 years old male patient with chronic renal vein...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences, measured as mortality and in-hospital stroke, of the use of thrombolytic therapy among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), who do not fulfill accepted criteria or who have contraindications to thrombolytic therapy (i.e., overutilization) and among patients who are withheld thrombolytic treatment despite fulfilling i...

Summary. Examination and treatment of 274 patients with acute deep vein thrombosis the lower limbs (DVT) was carried out. Thrombolytic therapy (TLT) as a basic method used in 98 (35.8 %) patients. Of these, 44 (16.1 underwent catheter-guided thrombolysis 54 (19.7 systemic thrombolytic therapy. Anticoagulant (ACT) 176 (64.2 In distant period, positive results TLT significantly exceeded ACT. Thus...
