Alerts clinicians to fatal bleeding risk with thrombolysis in AMI; leaves open need for risk-stratified protocols in future studies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the rare but fatal complication of concurrent retroperitoneal and intracranial hemorrhage following thrombolytic therapy and PCI for acute myocardial infarction.
Ayyappan et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Streptokinase and heparin, followed by percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated on Spontaneous retroperitoneal and intracranial hemorrhage. Administration of streptokinase and heparin for acute myocardial infarction in a middle-aged man resulted in fatal spontaneous retroperitoneal and intracranial hemorrhage.
