Issues regarding the use of heparin following streptokinase therapy
Abstract
The success of thrombolytic therapy is dependent upon the balance of fibrinolytic activity and procoagulant activity. Streptokinase produces fibrin degradation products that have anticoagulant effects and may potentially protect against reocclusion. However, streptokinase also activates platelets and thrombin, and the prothrombotic effects may be more marked than after administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). …
