Popis: The complication of myocardial infarction after using intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke is rare. Several of these cases have been reported in the first 3 hours after infusion of rt-PA. There is controversy on how to manage treatment of the coronary artery, such as intravenous anticoagulants and antiplatelets, at the same time. We introduce a new strategy for treatment of a patient who had ischemic stroke and developed myocardial infarction after intravenous rt-PA therapy. Our case had coronary and cerebral intervention in combination with low-dose intravenous rt-PA. He was successfully treated for coronary occlusion with aspiration thrombectomy.
