Case series links thrombolysis to hemorrhagic infarction in AMI; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Does selective coronary thrombolysis cause macroscopic hemorrhagic infarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Autopsy findings demonstrate that selective coronary thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction frequently leads to macroscopic hemorrhagic infarction, which becomes evident around 15 hours after onset.
Fujiwara et al. (1985) studied this question.
