Abstract
We report a case of tissue plasminogen activator-associated spinal epidural hematoma in a patient who underwent treatment for myocardial infarction. D iagnostic magnetic resonance imaging was used within 24 hr of coronary arte ry stent implantation. We review the literature on thrombolytic-associated epidural spinal hematoma and discuss its management. Cathet Cardiovasc, Int ervent 48:390-396, 1999, (C) 1999 Wiley-Llss, Inc.
