MI risk with urokinase in occluded SVGs warrants caution; case report leaves open its utility versus alternatives.
Blankenship et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Total saphenous vein graft occlusion (n=1). Urokinase infusion was evaluated on Myocardial infarction. Urokinase infusion for total saphenous vein graft occlusion was complicated by acute myocardial infarction, a risk that may limit the application of this technique.
