Abstract
Small doses of streptokinase were infused locally into occluded long-term venous access catheters in seven patients with neoplasia who required such access for the administration of chemotherapy and blood products. This technique resulted in prompt resolution of clot in all patients, was easy to perform, and caused no hemorrhagic side effects or coagulation changes.Keywords
