Abstract
The feasibility of rapid dissolution of intracoronary thrombi by semiselective or selective infusion of thrombolytic substances has been demonstrated in experimental series (1, 2, 3) and in small clinical pilot studies (4, 5) as long as twenty years ago. The concept of limiting infarct size by re-establishing antegrade flow, however, was not introduced into clinical practice until 1978 (6, 7). Recently a registry has been established under the auspices of the European Society of Cardiology in order to assess recanalization rates, mortality and functional changes in patients treated with intracoronary streptokinase.
