Local thrombolytic therapy in severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during puerperium.

This study is to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of local thrombolytic therapy in superior sagittal sinus in patients with severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during puerperium, as well as the efficacy and safety of anti-platelet aggregation treatment for preventing recurrence. Twelve patients during postpartum period with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis were received local thrombolytic therapy by placing a micro-catheter at the distal end of superior sagittal sinus from January 2008 to December 2013. All the patients accepted mechanical thrombus maceration before local intrasinus thrombolytic therapy, and were treated with low molecular weight heparin in the acute phase.
