Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) secondary to thrombolytic therapy in the setting of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a rare but severe complication. This phenomenon has been well documented in the past with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator, also known as Alteplase. However, there are no documented reports of MI secondary to Tenecteplase (TNKase), an alternative thrombolytic agent rapidly gaining favour in managing AIS. We report a male patient in his 50s who received TNKase for an AIS and subsequently developed an inferolateral ST elevation MI.
