  • Title: Restoring patency of thrombosed catheters with cryopreserved urokinase.
    Author: Gale GB, O'Connor DM, Chu JY, Stanley D.
    Journal: JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr; 1984; 8(3):298-9. PubMed ID: 6539832.
    Abstract:
    In order to eliminate wasting vials of urokinase, 5000 U/ml aliquots were reconstituted and frozen. The urokinase remained effective for clearing thrombosed catheters for as long as 9 months. When catheters become occluded, patency can be restored by previously frozen urokinase.
