Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Simultaneous acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and myocardial infarction (cardiocerebral ischemic attack) have rarely been reported in the literature. Currently, no clear evidence-based guidelines or clinical trials exist to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy for these patients. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 27-year-old Chinese man who simultaneously experienced acute concomitant cerebrocardiac infarction (CCI) and painless ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The patient was successfully treated with elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after receiving urgent systemic thrombolysis at the standard dose for AIS. CONCLUSION: Urgent thrombolysis followed by elective PCI was an appropriate strategy for the management of simultaneous CCI.
