Streptokinase was administered for femoral artery thrombosis in a 14-month-old girl after complete occlusion of an arterial duct with a Jackson coil. Hemoglobinuria started after femoral artery patency was achieved. Ductal shunting was unimpeded 35 hours after cessation of streptokinase. The problem was resolved by implantation of a second coil.
