Abstract

For more than 25 years thrombolysis has been synonymous with the administration of tPA. This is reflected by the fact that in most clinical articles on fibrinolysis or thrombolysis over the last decade, the activator is no longer identified since it is assumed to be tPA. Moreover, the choice of activator has also become of little interest because it is believed that all activators have similar clinical effects.
