Pattern of Fibrinogen during Thrombolvsis in Acute Mvocardial Infarction with Fibrin-spe&ic plasmionogen activators - Detection of high molecular weight fibrinogen split products. H Thodel R. Dechend2, T. Miiller3, W.E. Eisert3, A, M. Barthelsl, D.C. Gulba2 Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (l), UKRV Franz-Volhard-Klinik, Free University Berlin (2), Dr. Karl Thomae GmbH, Biberach, Germany (3) In thrombolysis (T) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the fibrin specific plasminogen activators (PA) are infused in non physiologically high doses. Only limited fibrin-specific in nature, this may give rise to fibrinogen degradation (FgD). In a series of 75 patients (pts) - 24 rt-PA, 51 Pro-urokinase (PUK) we investigated, whether FgD follows a similar fragmentation pattern as known from T with streptokinase. During T, Fg levels (Ratnoff-Menzie) were stabel ( 3.2 f I,7 to 3.1 f 1.3 g/l/n.s.).

INTRAARTERIAL FIBRINOLYTIC PARAMETERS DURING LOCAL LOW DOSE STREPTOKINASE THERAPY. Kozak M, SaboviC M Trnovo Hospital of Internal Medicine, University Medical Centre, Ljubljana. Slovenia. Infroducfion: During local low dose intraarterial streptokinase thrombolysis some authors registereq a reduction in systemic (venous) plasminogen.(plg) and fibrinogen (fbg) concentrations. The aim of our study was to find out whether the degree of plg depletion is even more pronounced in the artery close to the thrombus. Patients and methods: 34 patients, treated with intraarterial streptokinase (3750 U/h) due to occlusive arterial disease of lower limbs, were included. The concentrations of pig. fbg and alfa-2 antiplasmin were measured in blood samples collected simultaneously from peripheral vein and from intraarterial catheter before drug administration and after 0.5. 1.5. 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours. On average treatment was completed in 3 days. Results: Treatmentdependent reduction of all measured parameters in both

Simultaneously low molecular weight (LMW)-FgD products (P) (Fragment D) and Fibrin (Fb)-DP (fragment D-D) increased from 0.55 f. 0.42 to 3.31 f 5.69 mg/l and from 0.61 ? 0.83 to 6.58 + 6.78 mg/l respectively. Furthermore, high (H) MW FgDP (250300 000 d) were detected in the plasmas of 14 pts (8 PUK, 6 rt-PA) with means of SDS-PAGE (Polyacrylamid-gradient 6- 12%, 25OV, 30 mA, silver staining). The detection of HMW-FgDP was correlated to the consumption of PLG and a-2-AP levels. We conclude: that the Fg fragmentation - pattern of all PLG-activators is similar and the detection of HMW-FgDP is correlated to the extent of systemic lytic state exerted by T. The impact of the HMWFgDP on the incidence of secondary bleeds however remains to be elucidated.
