title: [Bolus injection of anisoylated plasminogen-streptokinase activator complex (BRL 26921) as an alternative concept of systemic lysis in acute myocardial infarct].
abstract: The thrombolytic properties of anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator complex (BRL 26921) and clinical results of the treatment were studied in 10 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction. Exclusion criteria were general contraindications against thrombolytic therapy and a time interval of more than 4 h between the onset of symptoms and admission to the hospital. All patients received a 250-mg bolus of prednisolone prior to intravenous injection of 30 mg BRL 26921 within 2 min. A continuous infusion of heparin at a dose of 1,000 USPU/h was started 2 h after the injection. Blood pressure was monitored via an arterial line. Arrhythmias and changes in the ST segments were documented by conventional ECG recording and computer-based ECG monitoring. Coronary arteriography and left ventriculography were carried out within 72 h. Besides routine laboratory tests, serial CK and CK-MB activity measurements were carried out. We determined the following hemostaseological parameters before and 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 4 h, and 12 h after application of BRL 26921: prothrombin time, activated partial thrombosplastin time, thrombin time, thrombin coagulase time, fibrinogen, streptokinaseplasminogen activator activity, plasminogen and alpha-2-antiplasmin. Our results (reperfusion in all patients angiographically and in 7 to 8 of 10 patients from noninvasive criteria) show that BRL 26921 is a highly effective thrombolytic agent in patients with myocardial infarction, when compared with high-dose systemic fibrinolysis. Applied in dosages required for early reperfusion, it does not appear to be selectively thrombolytic and is not free of hypotensive effects in man. The decrease of fibrinolytic activity is biphasic with a half-disappearance time of 112 min.
