Urokinase in the treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage
Ann Pharmacother.
1998 Feb.
Abstract
Large, randomized, double-blind trials on the use of urokinase for IVH are not available, and the studies published in the literature are not without flaws. However, it appears that in the current case-control reports, administration of urokinase through ventricular catheters is safe and is a promising alternative to current medical or surgical management. Investigation of other fibrinolytic agents such as recombinant alteplase is available, but is even more limited. Further trials will help to determine the best dosage and duration of urokinase therapy, as well as the overall efficacy of this new treatment option.
