The authors present the case of a patient with acute anterior myocardial infarction with multiple severe impairment of his coronary arteries, which was insolvable by percutaneous coronary intervention. He was treated initially by i. v. thrombolysis which was administered in the Department of Medicine of a Community hospital. After recurrence of his angina, which was accompanied by severe left heart failure, he underwent urgent surgical myocardial revascularization, but succumbed early following the operation because of haemorrhagic complications, which were not associated with the previous thrombolysis. A brief review of the literature concerning early coronary artery bypass graft surgery after thrombolytic therapy of acute MI is presented.
Keywords: acute myocardial infarction, thrombolysis, coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
