Abstract

Myocardial rupture after thrombolysis is an often fatal consequence. For patients with myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke within a short timeframe, a catheter-based therapy to retrieve emboli poses a valid therapeutic option in case of a treatment target in CT-Angiography.

Keywords: myocardial infarction; myocardial rupture; peri‐interventional stroke; thrombectomy; thrombolysis.
