A Comparative Randomized Trial of Low-Dose Versus High-Dose Streptokinase in Deep Vein Thrombosis of the Thigh
Abstract
Fibrinolytic treatment of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg with high-dose streptokinase (SK) (100,000 U/h) in 39 cases, or low-dose SK (approx 10,000 U/h) in combination with low-dose heparin in 41 cases, was studied in a prospective randomized trial. The degree of thrombolysis was similar in both groups and did not correlate with age or size of the thrombus or with fibrinogen level. The degree of late recanalization was also similar …
