title: Thrombolytic therapy by pro-Urokinase combined with tissue plasminogen activator in an acute internal carotid occlusion.
abstract: Acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery by a cardiac embolus was quickly recanalized by the new thrombolytic agent, pro-Urokinase, combined with tissue plasminogen activator, without any side-effects. This is the first reported case of thrombolytic therapy of a cerebral artery using these agents in combination.
