Abstract
A 68-yr-old female developed an acute embolic cerebrovascular event during a coronary bypass graft angioplasty. The patient was treated with microcatheter-directed, intra-arterial thrombolysis. The technique and a review of the literature for thrombolysis in cerebrovascular ischemic events are included.
