  • Title: Cocaine-associated myocardial infarction. A word of caution about thrombolytic therapy.
    Author: Bush HS.
    Journal: Chest; 1988 Oct; 94(4):878. PubMed ID: 3168586.
    Abstract:
    The recent approval of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) by the Food and Drug Administration has opened a new era in the management of acute coronary occlusions. Absolute contraindications are well established. A case of intracranial bleeding as a complication of thrombolytic therapy in an intravenous substance abuser is presented. This may represent a relative contraindication to thrombolytic therapy.
