Does low-dose local infusion of streptokinase improve thrombus resolution in a patient with subclavian vein thrombosis?
Low-dose local infusion of streptokinase successfully resolved subclavian vein thrombosis in a single patient.
Appleby et al. (1984) studied this question. Low-dose local infusion of streptokinase at 5,000 units per hour for three days resulted in complete resolution of subclavian vein thrombosis in a 30-year-old woman.
