Abstract
A 30-year-old woman had an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction a t 21 weeks' gestation and was successfully treated with intravenous ti ssue plasminogen activator. This case demonstrates that good perinatal outcome is possible after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial i nfarction complicating the second trimester of pregnancy.
