title: Treatment with stanozolol before thrombolysis in patients with arterial occlusions.
abstract: The administration of the anabolic steroid stanozolol during 7, 8 days as pretreatment before thrombolytic therapy of acute or subacute arterial occlusions enhances the fibrinolytic potential significantly. On average the plasminogen increased from 101% to 133%, the euglobulin lysis time after venous stasis was shortened and the alpha 2-antiplasmin remained constant. This effect could be favourable to prepare patients undergoing thrombolytic treatment.
