[Local fibrinolytic treatment in subtotal pulmonary embolism].
Authors present an interventional radiological technique used for a successful treatment of 12 patients with massive pulmonary embolism. The method for rapid statement of diagnosis and the range of indications are discussed. In massive pulmonary embolism, after a diagnostic angiography, in 12 patient's mechanical thrombus drilling, in 3 cases thrombus aspiration, in 8 cases thrombus explosion and in other 1 balloon recanalisation was performed combined with a low dose (20,000-60,000 IU/h Streptokinase or the double dose of Urokinase) local fibrinolytic infusion. No major complication was observed and all the patients were successfully treated.
