Dermatosurgery is the branch dealing with skin conditions that operate at the level of skin, without disturbing the of the human organ system. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was undertaken, which included 100 patients comprised of 50 patients in each group.

Tenecteplase versus streptokinase thrombolytic therapy in patients with mitral prosthetic valve thrombosis.

Objective: Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a dreadful complication of mechanical prosthetic valves. Thrombolytic therapy (TT) for PVT is an alternative to surgery and currently making a leading role. This study compares TT with tenecteplase (TNK) and streptokinase (SK) head to head in patients with mitral PVT.
