Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel treatment for myocardial infarction which comprises administering a hapten-binding molecule capable of preventing reformation of fibrin-platelet clots and a thrombolytic agent capable of either dissolving fibrin-platelet clots or inhibiting their formation. The therapy of the invention is capable of increasing clot lysis while minimizing fibrinogen breakdown and preventing the reocclusion of the affected coronary artery. The therapy of the present invention is capable of achieving this goal even in the absence of heparin and when the concentration of thrombolytic agent is lower than that required by other potential therapies.
