Accelerated Infusion of Streptokinase for the Treatment of Left-Sided Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Circulation, 09/11/09
Karthikeyan G et al. – The large number of patients recruited from a single center underscores the massive burden of prosthetic valve thrombosis in developing countries. Fibrinolytic therapy with streptokinase is less efficacious than previously believed. The accelerated streptokinase infusion is not better than the standard infusion for left–sided prosthetic valve thrombosis. Developing countries urgently need more effective strategies to prevent and treat prosthetic valve thrombosis.
