Antibody-Mediated Thrombolysis: Promise and Problems

  • Conference paper
New Trends in Haemostasis

Abstract

Thrombosis of a coronary artery is the most common cause of myocardial infarction (DeWood et al. 1980). Thrombolytic therapy, when instituted timely, has been shown capable of reducing morbidity and mortality (GISSI 1986). Problems remain, however, including resistance to fibrinolytic therapy, delays in reperfusion, reocclusion after successful thrombolysis and serious hemorrhage (Coller 1990).
