title: [Intracoronary thrombolysis or brief intravenous infusion of high-dose streptokinase in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction].
abstract: Intracoronary infusions of streptokinase result in recanalization in about 80% of patients treated during the 4 hours following the first symptoms of myocardial infarction. With short, high dose intravenous infusions (streptokinase 1,500,000 units in 30 min) the recanalization rate is of the order of 60-75%. The high dose of streptokinase is well tolerated, and the intravenous infusion presents the advantage of shortening by about 2 hours the delay required to start intracoronary administration.
