Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1998 Aug;44(4):412-4. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0304(199808)44:4<412::aid-ccd10>3.0.co;2-k.

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.
