  • Title: Thrombolytic therapy: current clinical practice.
    Author: Baker WF.
    Journal: Hematol Oncol Clin North Am; 2005 Feb; 19(1):147-81, vii. PubMed ID: 15639112.
    Abstract:
    Thrombolytic therapy is an essential tool in the array of therapies designed to reopen arteries and veins occluded with thrombus. As the use of thrombolytic agents has entered mainstream practice, their application has expanded to include a wide variety of indications and settings. Thrombolytic agents are used in patients who have thrombosis of coronary arteries, precerebral and cerebral arteries, the aorta, iliac and mesenteric arteries, and peripheral arteries. The use of thrombolysis in venous thrombosis has included deep venous thrombosis of the upper and lower extremities and vena cava, mesenteric veins, cerebral veins, and central access catheters. Guidelines are available from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association regarding thrombolysis in myocardial infarction and from the American Stroke Association regarding thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
