ABSTRACT
We report 2 patients who developed massive pulmonary embolism with > 50% occludion of the pulmonary arterial circulation. Hypotension, syncope and right sided failure were the clinical manifestations. Immediately after diagnostic pulmonary arteriography, 20,000 U of streptokonase (SK) were delivered in the pulmonary artery nest to the thrombotic mass. A continous infusion of SK, 10,000 U/h was maintained for 24h in one patient and 72h in the other. Rapid clincial improvement was observed in the following 24h. Control angiography showed lysis of the embolus with residual obstructions of segmentary branches. The clinical value of this form of treatment for pulmonary embolism is discussed
