- Hemorrhagic complications are common during thrombolysis, but ischemic strokes after this procedure are rare; this text discusses two cases of such occurrences.
- The first case involved a 56-year-old man who suffered an ischemic stroke shortly after receiving tenecteplase for a ST elevation myocardial infarction, while the second case involved a 65-year-old man who experienced the stroke 10 hours later.
- These cases highlight that ischemic strokes, although infrequent, can be serious complications of fibrinolytic therapy, indicating a need for further investigation into their underlying causes.
