  • Title: Acute myocardial infarction complicating urokinase infusion for total saphenous vein graft occlusion.
    Author: Blankenship JC, Modesto TA, Madigan NP.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1993 Jan; 28(1):39-43. PubMed ID: 8416330.
    Abstract:
    Saphenous vein graft occlusions have been successfully treated with extended urokinase infusions. We report a case of myocardial infarction complicating this treatment. A review of reported cases suggests that this complication may not be uncommon. The optional drug, dose, and infusion technique for intra-graft lytic therapy has not been determined. The costs, risks, and difficulty of this technique may limit its application.
