Catastrophic spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) following thrombolysis poses a complex intersection of neurosurgical and cardiological challenges. This case report presents the institutional experience of a 66-year-old female who developed rapid-onset compressive myelopathy after thrombolysis for inferior wall myocardial infarction with injection streptokinase. SSEH, although rare, demands prompt recognition due to its potential for permanent neurologic injury and mortality.

Pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) can be treated either surgically or transcatheterly for eligible patients. Perforation of pulmonary valves using chronic total occlusion (CTO) guidewires has been reported as an alternative to radiofrequency (RF) perforation. We sought to report our experience with CTO guidewires for perforation of atretic pulmonary valves and subsequent balloon dilatation (with or without patent ductus arteriosus stenting) in patients with PA-IVS from two centers.
