Abstract:
A leak from an abdominal aortic aneurysm following the administration of streptokinase treatment for myocardial infarction is reported. It is important to assess candidates for cardiac thrombolytic therapy for aortic pathology and give such treatment with extreme caution in those patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
