Description:
Coronary thrombolysis, an intervention that can abort the sequelae of acute myocardial infarction, was accomplished within 10 minutes in dogs by intravenous administration of clot-selective, tissue-type plasminogen activator. In addition to inducing clot lysis, this promising fibrinolytic agent restored intermediary metabolism and nutritional myocardial blood flow, detectable noninvasively with positron tomography, without inducing a systemic fibrinolytic state.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bergmann, S R -- Fox, K A -- Ter-Pogossian, M M -- Sobel, B E -- Collen, D -- HL 17646/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jun 10;220(4602):1181-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6602378" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
