Tissue-type plasminogen activator for acute myocardial infarction caused hemoptysis and unilateral intra-alveolar hemorrhage in a patient with a prior ipsilateral lung injury.
Prior lung injury may predispose patients to localized intra-alveolar hemorrhage when receiving thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
This report deals with a patient who developed hemoptysis due to unilateral intra-alveolar hemorrhage after receiving tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) for acute myocardial infarction; the patient had sustained an ipsilateral lung injury 2 years earlier.
