Thrombolytic Therapy

[sukumar794]

  will there be any need for invasive procedures like angiogram or angioplasty if thrombolysis was done for a heart attack victim at the proper time ? Since streptokinase medications clear up clogged arteries does one have to worry about blockages?

Prognosis and treatment depends on the underlying cause for clots.  Angioplasty is usually the treatment for occluded or narrow vessels often due to plaque buildup.  Treatment for thrombosis may be better treated with antiplatelet therapy
