Popis: SummaryWild-type or equipotent variants of recombinant staphylokinase (rSak) were given intra-arterially (as a 2 mg bolus injection followed by an infusion of 1 mg/h or 0.5 mg/h overnight, with concomitant heparin [1000 IU/h]) to 191 patients of less than 80 years (62 ± 1 years, mean ± SEM), with a peripheral arterial occlusion (PAO) of less than 120 days (mean 14 ± 1 days, median 11 days, 5 to 95 percentiles 3 to 30 days). Ninety nine patients presented with acute or subacute ischemia, 57 with severe claudication, 33 with chronic rest pain and 2 with gangrene. Occlusion occurred in 122 native arteries and in 69 grafts. Revascularization was complete in 83 percent (158/191), partial in 13 percent (24/191) and absent in 4 percent (7/191) after administration of 12 ± 0.5 mg rSak over 14 ± 0.7 h. Complete revascularization of acute occlusions of popliteal or more distal arteries was less frequent (60 percent, 15/25) than of acute occlusions of more proximal native arteries (95 percent, 37/39, p In conclusion, rSak appears to be a highly effective thrombolytic agent in patients with PAO, resulting in a low one month mortality (3.1 percent) and a high one year amputation free survival (84 percent), with an acceptable incidence of major bleedings, but with occasional fatal intracranial hemorrhages.
