Survival outcomes 1 year after reperfusion therapy with either alteplase or reteplase for acute myocardial infarction: results from the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and t-PA for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) III Trial.

TL;DR: The r-PA and t-PA strategies yielded similar survival outcomes after 30 days in this trial, and the increase in mortality rate during extended follow-up compared with previous trials may reflect higher-risk patients and highlights the need for improved secondary prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective inhibition of factor Xa during thrombolytic therapy markedly improves coronary artery patency in a canine model of coronary thrombosis

TL;DR: It is suggested that adjunctive treatment with a higher tier blockade of the coagulation cascade is superior to direct thrombin inhibition in maintaining coronary artery patency following thrombolysis in the experimental canine electrolytic model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombospondins, Their Polymorphisms, and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: This review seeks to summarize current information that has emerged on how the thrombospondins influence cardiovascular pathology, to dissect how the individual polymorphisms alter the structure and function of the parent throm bospondin molecules, and to replicate the genetic data in different patient populations.
