  • Title: Thrombolysis of venous and arterial thrombosis by catheter-directed low-dose infusion of tissue plasminogen activator in children.
    Author: Cannizzaro V, Berger F, Kretschmar O, Saurenmann R, Knirsch W, Albisetti M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2005 Dec; 27(12):688-91. PubMed ID: 16344680.
    Abstract:
    Thrombolytic therapy is a well-defined treatment option for arterial and venous thrombosis in adults. In contrast, uniform recommendations regarding the indication, route of administration, and dosing of thrombolytic therapy in children are not available. The authors report the successful resolution of bilateral pulmonary embolism and popliteal artery thrombosis in an 11-year-old girl and 13-year-old girl, respectively, by catheter-directed thrombolysis with low-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Catheter-directed low-dose thrombolysis is an efficient treatment option for severe venous and arterial thrombosis in children.
