    Abstract:
    The requirement of heparin in experimental coronary thrombolysis induced by tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) was studied in closed-chest dogs with one hour old coronary thrombi and compared with that in urokinase (UK)-induced coronary thrombolysis. Animals were divided into 5 treatment groups as follows: group 1 received intracoronary t-PA alone (1,000 IU/kg/min; n = 5), and if thrombolysis was not induced within 40 to 50 min, dogs then received an intravenous injection of heparin (300 U/kg) plus intracoronary t-PA; group 2 received intravenous heparin at first, and if thrombolysis was not induced within 10 min, dogs subsequently received intracoronary t-PA (n = 5); group 3 also received intravenous heparin at first, and if thrombolysis was not induced within 10 min, dogs subsequently received t-PA but intravenously, as compared with the groups administered by the intracoronary route (n = 6); group 4 received intracoronary UK alone (1,000 IU/kg/min; n = 6); group 5 received intravenous heparin at first, and if thrombolysis was not induced within 10 min, dogs subsequently received intracoronary UK (n = 5). Thrombolysis was confirmed angiographically. In group I, coronary thrombolysis could not be induced within 44 +/- 4 min by intracoronary t-PA alone, but it occurred in 8 +/- 4 min when administered in combination with heparin in all dogs. Heparin alone failed to elicit reperfusion within 10 min in group 2, 3 and 5. t-PA, however, induced successful reperfusion in 16 +/- 5 min (group 2) and in 23 +/- 6 min (group 3), respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
