Intravenous streptokinase successfully treated an acute myocardial infarction in a 23-year-old woman during the early postpartum period.
Intravenous streptokinase can be a successful treatment option for acute myocardial infarction occurring in the early postpartum period.
May support thrombolysis in postpartum AMI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A twenty-three-year-old woman had an acute myocardial infarction during the early postpartum period successfully treated with intravenous streptokinase. The possible mechanisms of postpartum myocardial infarction are reviewed, and the clinical implication for the use of streptokinase in this situation is discussed.
