Streptokinase versus recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator for thrombolysis of mechanical prosthetic heart valve thrombosis

Aims and Objectives: This study was designed to compare streptokinase (STK) versus recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for thrombolysis in patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (PHVT). Background: Optimal management of PHVT remains controversial. Thrombolytic therapy is a...
