Thrombolytic Therapy Using Urokinase for Management of Central Venous Catheter Thrombosis
PURPOSE The management of central venous catheters (CVCs) and catheter thrombosis vary among centers, and the efficacy of the methods of management of catheter thrombosis in CVCs is rarely reported. We investigated the efficacy of bedside thrombolysis with urokinase for the management of catheter thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from patients who had undergon...
متن کاملUrokinase therapy in neonates with catheter related central venous thrombosis.
The results of fibrinolytic therapy with urokinase were evaluated in 26 neonates with catheter related central venous thrombosis. Complete thrombolysis could be achieved in 13 patients (50%), partial thrombolysis in 3 patients (12%). No effect was seen in 10 patients (38%). Therapy success was influenced by age, size and location of the thrombus. Coincidence of infection occurred in 16 patients...

متن کاملCentral venous catheter associated thrombosis of major veins: thrombolytic treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.
OBJECTIVE Major thromboses can occur in the venous system in association with central venous catheters. This usually necessitates removal of the catheter. METHODS The effectiveness of low dose recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in combination with heparin was assessed in patients with central venous catheter associated thrombosis. RESULTS In five patients, all suffering f...
متن کاملLocal and systemic thrombolytic therapy for acute deep venous thrombosis.
This article presents a review of the treatment of lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with systemic and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT). Standard treatment including anticoagulation therapy and compression stockings may not be entirely adequate, because a significant proportion of patients eventually develop post-thrombotic syndrome ...
