Serious adverse events are not uncommon, with hemorrhage being the major complication. We describe the case of a patient with acute ischemic stroke that also presented with vague cardiac symptoms and was treated with rtPA, which was complicated by a hemopericardium causing cardiac tamponade. Pericardiocentesis was promptly performed, which resulted in rapid resolution of the cardiogenic shock. The patient recovered consciousness within a few minutes. A search of the MEDLINE database shows that this is the first report of cardiac tamponade after rtPA thrombolysis occurring in a patient with no history of recent myocardial infarction or aortic dissection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12890\/2020_001534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]],"date-time":"2021-05-25T13:52:37Z","timestamp":1621950757000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cardiac Tamponade after Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke - A Case with an Excellent Outcome"],"prefix":"10.12890","author":[{"family":"Ana Vera-Cruz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Internal Medicine Service, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Marta Cerol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Internal Medicine Service, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Maria Margarida Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Internal Medicine Service, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"S\u00f3nia Canadas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Internal Medicine Service, Hospital Sousa Martins, Guarda, Portuga"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Juliana Mort\u00e1gua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, Intermediate Care Unit, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Ion Gherbovetchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, Intermediate Care Unit, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Jos\u00e9 Pedro Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, Intermediate Care Unit, District Hospital of Santar\u00e9m, Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10397","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]]},"container-title":["European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]],"date-time":"2021-05-25T13:56:38Z","timestamp":1621950998000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ejcrim.com\/index.php\/EJCRIM\/article\/view\/1534"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Vol 7 No 4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12890\/2020_001534","relation":{"has-manifestation":[{"id-type":"other","id":"1-57-1534-g1997","asserted-by":"subject"},{"id-type":"other","id":"1-57-1534-g1998","asserted-by":"subject"}],"is-part-of":[{"id-type":"other","id":"1-57","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2284-2594"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2284-2594"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]]},"article-number":"15"}}
