  • Title: Regression of ST segment elevation after thrombolysis in acute aortic dissection.
    Author: Safi J, Mansur AJ, Brito FS, Benvenuti LA, Ratti MA, Ramires JA.
    Journal: South Med J; 1996 Nov; 89(11):1091-3. PubMed ID: 8903294.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with chest pain and electrocardiogram consistent with the diagnosis of evolving myocardial infarction. Treatment with streptokinase was administered, resulting in clinical and electrocardiographic signs of reperfusion. Hypotension and ST segment elevation occurred 2 hours later and cardiac catheterization was done. At catheterization the diagnosis of aortic dissection was made, but the patient died before surgery. Thus, clinical and electrocardiographic signs of reperfusion after streptokinase may occur in patients with aortic dissection and myocardial infarction.
