Myocardial Infarction Following Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Case Report and Literature Review.

Embolic complications of intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke are increasingly recognized, and to date several cases of myocardial infarction soon after the administration of alteplase have been reported. We describe a case of early anterior myocardial infarction during intravenous thrombolysis for stroke and review the current literature.
