Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of staphylokinase for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for treating arterial thrombosis, such as e.g. myocardial infarction. It is demonstrated that staphylokinase can be particularly useful as a thrombolytic agent for the lysis of platelet-rich clots. Furthermore it is demonstrated that staphylokinase, unlike streptokinase, does not induce antibody induction upon repeated administration.
