Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudySingle versus bilateral external ventricular drainage for intraventricular fibrinolysis using urokinase in severe ventricular haemorrhage.
Intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) through bilateral external ventricular drains (EVD) may provide better access of the thrombolytic agent to the intraventricular clot, potentially leading to faster clot clearance. ⋯ The results provide some evidence to support the use of bilateral EVDs for IVF in patients with severe IVH.
