| Popis: | Urokinase thrombolytic therapy was used on three separate occasions to lyse thrombosed Denver peritoneovenous shunts in a 51-year-old woman. Shunt patency was preserved over a 2-year period, with a fatal complication following the third procedure. The authors suggest that thrombolytic therapy might be a viable alternative to immediate surgical revision in patients with failed Denver shunts. |
