[Streptokinase in pulmonary embolisation with cardiac arrest (author's transl)].
A 51 year old hypertensive female was successfully resuscitated from two episodes of cardiac arrest due to massive pulmonary embolisation, by injection of 750,000 units of streptokinase into a central venous catheter on the first postoperative day. Two severe complications showed the limits of this agressive form of intensive therapy.
