Embolic Cerebral Infarction and Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Following Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: We report an unusual case of cerebral embolization that occurred after intravenous thrombolytic therapy for myocardial infarction. Direct observation by serial echocardiograms in this patient confirmed that the thrombolytic treatment induced lysis and fragmentation of thrombus, and the subsequent dislodging and embolization of preexisting cardiac thrombi, which caused the cerebral infarction. It is suggested that an echocardiogram, if instantly available, be performed before considering thrombolytic therapy wh… Show more

“…Preexisting left ventricular thrombus has been documented by echocardiography before ischemic stroke complicating thrombolysis for acute myocardial ischemia, 10,13 with a disappearance or reduction in thrombus volume after stroke. Possible embolization to other vascular beds has also been reported after IV rt-PA for ischemic stroke, including acute myocardial infarction, 20,21 peripheral arterial embolism, 22 or embolism to the external carotid artery.…”
