| Abstract: | Selective intracoronary infusion of streptokinase during the acute phase of myocar-dial infarction may reduce myocardial necrosis. Thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarction has been primarily applied to the native coronary circulation. We are reporting successful thrombolysis in an aortocoronary saphenous vein graft 39 months after bypass surgery. Thrombosis may have developed as a complication of catheterization, and streptokinase may also prove useful in the reversal of thrombosis in this setting. |
