Results of ultra-high streptokinase (Awelysin) doses in patients with thrombophlebitis

The results of 6-hour fibrinolysis with ultra-high streptokinase doses in 30 patients with peripheral venous thrombosis were presented. In 33.3% of the patients complete, and in 40% partial repatency was attained, while no repatency occurred in 20%. Deterioration was observed in two patients. The most beneficial effects were seen in postoperative and posttraumatic thrombosis. Bleeding complications did not occur. In one female patient treatment was discontinued due to bronchospasm.
