Abstract

We report the case of a 62-year-old patient with a mitral prosthesis hospitalized with an anterior acute myocardial infarction who was treated with r-tPA. Some days later, the patient had mitral thrombosis with heart failure. Because of the high risk of surgical intervention, he was successfully treated with a new dose of r-tPA.
