Cardiac rupture following intracoronary streptokinase

Thrombolytic dissolution of coronary artery thrombus has added new dimensions to early myocardial infarction treatment. Reperfusion via streptokinase infusion has been shown to be beneficial; however, adverse effects are being noted. We present the case of a patient so treated who subsequently devel...

Zusammenfassung:	Thrombolytic dissolution of coronary artery thrombus has added new dimensions to early myocardial infarction treatment. Reperfusion via streptokinase infusion has been shown to be beneficial; however, adverse effects are being noted. We present the case of a patient so treated who subsequently developed left ventricular free wall rupture.
