Precision targeting of the plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 mechanism increases efficacy of fibrinolytic therapy in empyema
Abstract Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) is an endogenous irreversible inhibitor of tissue‐type (tPA) and urokinase (uPA) plasminogen activators. PAI‐1‐targeted fibrinolytic therapy (PAI‐1‐TFT) is designed to decrease the therapeutic dose of tPA and uPA, attenuating the risk of bleeding an...
