Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 vascular territories: is thrombolytic therapy a better option?
We have read with great interest the article by Akyuz and colleagues in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine and congratulate them for their observation. Their case exemplifies the concurrent occurrence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and posterior circulation stroke that was eventually managed with thrombolytic therapy. Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 distant vascular territories is a rare and complicated clinical scenario. In these instances, there is usually an underlying cause linking both thrombotic events rather than being a mere coincidence. We have previously described the myocardial infarc...
