Combining antithrombotic and fibrinolytic agents: can it be done? [PDF]
More than half of ischemic stroke patients who are treated with IV recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) remain disabled at 3 months.1,2 The reasons are many. The IV rtPA rate of recanalizing occluded arteries is not as high as we would like, especially for large arterial occlusions, which are opened only 30% to 40% of the time.3–6 When ...

Fibrinolytic agents for peripheral arterial occlusion. [PDF]
Peripheral arterial thrombolysis is used in the management of peripheral arterial ischaemia. Streptokinase was originally used but safety concerns led to a search for other agents. Urokinase and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) have increasingly become established as first line agents for peripheral arterial thrombolysis.

New horizons in the pharmacological management of venous thromboembolism. [PDF]
Abstract Many patients suffer from venous thromboembolism (VTE) and its consequences. Despite substantial advancements with the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), patients and clinicians still encounter challenges in the acute and long‐term management of VTE, such as recurrent events, anticoagulant‐related bleeding complications, and ...
