  • Title: Successful coronary reperfusion with intracoronary streptokinase in a patient with coronary ectasia.
    Author: Theron HD, Kleynhans PH, Marx JD, Marks DS.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1987 Oct 03; 72(7):502-3. PubMed ID: 3660161.
    Abstract:
    A case in which successful coronary artery reperfusion was achieved during an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction by means of infusion of streptokinase (Kabikinase; Adcock Ingram) into an ectatic right coronary artery is described. The pathogenic mechanisms resulting in occlusion of ectatic coronary arteries and the incidence of the condition are discussed and the importance of anticoagulation therapy in these patients is stressed.
