BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Complications of intravenous (IV) thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) for acute stroke are commonly related to hemorrhage, anaphylaxis, or arterial re-occlusion. Embolic complications of t-PA are beginning to be recognized with increased use of t-PA for acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesize that disruption of intra-cardiac thrombus may result in myocardi...
