Reasons for using TNKase in STEMI patients
| TNKase is the most fibrin-specific thrombolytic agent available |
| TNKase may be injected by single intravenous bolus in 5–10 seconds |
| TNKase is as effective as accelerated rt-PA, but with less major bleeding |
| Pre-hospital TNKase (with rescue/routine PCI) seems as effective as primary angioplasty |
