[Thrombolysis in acute massive lung embolism].
Thrombolytic therapy of pulmonary embolism reduces total pulmonary resistance more rapidly than heparin alone. In massive pulmonary embolism this hemodynamic benefit usually outweighs the moderately increased bleeding risk if contra-indications are strictly observed. Practical dosage regimens for streptokinase and urokinase are proposed.
