ABSTRACT
Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as a complication of IV-tPA therapy is rarely reported. A 56-year-old man was diagnosed with the left middle cerebral artery territory infarction. IV-tPA was administered, and AMI developed 2-hours thereafter. Coronary angiography demonstrated occlusion of the left anterior descending artery and; immediate recanalization was perfomed. The patient recovered without neurological sequelae. We report herein an unusual case of AMI that developed following IV-t-PA therapy for acute ischemic stroke.
