Front-loaded infusion therapy of rT-PA during active menstruation. A case report.

Abstract
The authors report use of intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) to treat acute anterior wall myocardial infarction in a forty-two-year-old woman during the active menstrual period. The patient received the TPA with the front-loading system with excellent result. Hemoglobin remained unchanged. This case demonstrates that TPA infusion can be used in a menstruating woman without causing a dangerous hemorrhage.
