A case of cardiac tamponade during the treatment of simultaneous cardio-cerebral infarction associated with atrial fibrillation - Case report.
Conclusion: Some cases with CCI treated with IV-tPA and endovascular intervention were reported, but the treatment strategy should be still discussed multidisciplinary. Especially, the administration of antithrombotic drugs for CCI should be carefully performed because fatal hemorrhage such as cardiac tamponade can occur. PMID: 31893142 [PubMed]
