Spontaneous pulmonary hemorrhage following coronary thrombolysis.

First case report of spontaneous pulmonary hemorrhage following heparin therapy in acute myocardial infarction.

Since its discovery in 1916, heparin has been used extensively for treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Bleeding is its most well-known and frequent complication. We are describing the first case report of overt pulmonary hemorrhage in a patient who received heparin after emergent angioplasty for prevention of coronary artery rethrombosis.

Spontaneous liver haematoma as a result of thrombolytic therapy

Spontaneous liver haemorrhage due to thrombolysis is an extremely rare and life-threatening condition. This is the only report of spontaneous liver haemorrhage following thrombolysis in the literature that has been managed non-operatively, and proves such an approach is possible. The clinical findings and management of this case are discussed in relation to the relevant literature.

Early thrombolysis in an elderly patient: case report

Background Pulmonary thromboembolism (TEP) is related to the migration of thrombotic material from the systemic venous circulation to pulmonary vascular tree, with obstruction of the pulmonary arterial circulation. The mortality rate is 30% in non-identifiable forms, and 2-8% in those treated earlier. The early use of thrombolytics determines the success of the lysis. Thrombolysis is considered...

Intramyocardial hemorrhage in spontaneously reperfused myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE. The presence of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) is frequent in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). We aim for the presence IMH using cMRI in patients who presented AMI and did not undergo PPCI or thrombolysis. Cardiac magnetic resonance has proven to be a highly sensitive method for detect its presence in the ...
