Abstract

Concurrent cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) describes the simultaneous occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction and an acute ischemic stroke. It is a rare phenomenon, and no consensus yet exists on how to best treat it. CCI patients present with variable clinical scenarios and complications which makes the establishment of a treatment guideline difficult. We present here a case of a 67-year-old male with concurrent acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and acute ischemic stroke due to right middle cerebral artery occlusion who was successfully treated with Tenecteplase and mechanical thrombectomy. A literature review was also conducted in search of potential reasonable management strategies of CCI.
