Key result
The time window from myocardial infarction as a contraindication for IV stroke thrombolysis may be narrowed from 3 months to 7 weeks, with only 5 reported cases of cardiac tamponade.

May support shortening post-MI thrombolysis contraindication; leaves open prospective validation.
Silva et al. (2011) conducted a review in Stroke with recent myocardial infarction. IV stroke thrombolysis was evaluated on Cardiac tamponade. The time window from myocardial infarction as a contraindication for IV stroke thrombolysis may be narrowed from 3 months to 7 weeks, with only 5 reported cases of cardiac tamponade.
