Abstract
There are few data available regarding the safety or efficacy of thrombolysis of acute ischemic stroke secondary to myxoma. We present a patient treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator who developed hemorrhage remote from the location of ischemic stroke. Intra-arterial local thrombolysis may be a preferable alternative because of greater risk of hemorrhage from occult tumor emboli or microaneurysms in these patients.Entities:
