Cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction in the direct percutaneous coronary intervention reperfusion era.
BACKGROUND Cardiac rupture, an uncommon yet catastrophic complication after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been studied primarily in the prethrombolytic and thrombolytic therapy eras but not in the direct percutaneous coronary intervention (d-PCI) reperfusion therapy era. The aim of this study was to delineate the incidence, potential risks, timing of occurrence, clinical features, and ...
متن کاملIntraarterially administered abciximab as an adjuvant thrombolytic therapy: report of three cases.
The intravenous administration of abciximab can be used as an adjuvant therapy to facilitate thrombolysis for acute cerebrovascular occlusion. However, to our knowledge, the intraaterial administration of abciximab has not been reported. We recently treated three patients with acute thrombosis of the cerebral arteries by using an intraarterial infusion of urokinase and abciximab. Even with smal...
متن کاملIntraarterial thrombolysis trials in acute ischemic stroke.
Stroke is a common cause of death and disability in industrialized nations. Technical advances and the increased availability of noninvasive brain imaging techniques have permitted precise and early diagnosis of acute cerebral ischemia. This has made emergent thrombolytic therapy for rapid restoration of cerebral perfusion increasingly possible. Herein, the authors present a review of the clini...
متن کاملOn October 2011, a 60-year-old man with a history of tobacco abuse presented to our hospital with an episode of chest pain associated with dyspnea and exercise intolerance
The incidence of cardiac rupture complicating myocardial infarction has declined since the introduction of thrombolytic therapy. Despite the advances in the management of myocardial infarction, cardiac rupture remains an important cause of death among infarction-related fatalities. We discuss a patient who presented to our hospital with myocardial infarction and who subsequently developed a com...
متن کاملUse of abciximab for mediation of thromboembolic complications of endovascular therapy.
We describe four cases in which abciximab was used as a thrombolytic rescue agent in the setting of thrombotic events complicating interventional neuroradiologic procedures. After IV administration of abciximab, the thrombus resolved within 30 min in three cases, whereas no thrombolysis occurred in the fourth case despite the addition of intraarterial tissue plasminogen activator. Further evalu...
