Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Central vein catheter , Hematological malignancy, Urokinase

Intervention(s)
Urokinase rinses of central vein catheter three times weekly (25,000 IU, 5 ml of 5,000 IU/ml).
Primary Outcome(s)
The main endpoints of the study were the occurrence of any CVC-related infection by CoNS. According to previously described criteria these infections were classified as local CVC related infection (insertion site infection or significant CVC colonization) and systemic CVC ­related infections.
