Key result
Intracoronary and intravenous streptokinase resolved a totally occluded left anterior descending artery, revealing normal coronary anatomy in a patient with cocaine-induced myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does intracoronary and intravenous streptokinase improve angiographic findings in a patient with cocaine abuse-induced myocardial infarction?

Streptokinase successfully achieved thrombolysis in a case of cocaine-induced acute anterior myocardial infarction with a totally occluded LAD.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant streptokinase consideration in cocaine-related acute MI; leaves open optimal reperfusion strategies in this population.
