Overview

Intravenous rt-PA in acute cardioembolic stroke may accelerate the breakup or detachment of intracardiac mobile thrombi, leading to recurrent embolization.

Structured PICO

Does intravenous rt-PA cause recurrent embolization in patients with acute cardioembolic stroke and intracardiac mobile thrombi?

P
Population
A 45-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and acute cardioembolic stroke (n=1)
I
Intervention
Intravenous administration of 30 megaunits (MU) of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) over 60 minutes, commenced 2 hours after ictus
O
Outcome
Recurrent embolization (new occlusion of the left intracranial internal carotid artery and a branch of the left external artery)safety

Intravenous rt-PA in acute cardioembolic stroke may accelerate the breakup or detachment of intracardiac mobile thrombi, leading to recurrent embolization.
