title: [Fibrinolytic therapy].
abstract: Fibrinolytic therapy still is a keystone in the therapeutic approach of acute occlusion in different vascular regions. However, before starting fibrinolytic therapy an evidence-based risk assessment is necessary. This article presents the most common fibrinolytic agents as well as evidences and recommendations for fibrinolytic therapy of different vascular regions.
