Abstract

This retrospective study, conducted in the Cardiology-B department of Ibn Sina Hospital, Rabat, analyzed 44 patents and describes two rare cases of alveolar hemorrhage occurring after thrombolysis in patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

While contributing to the development of a larger registry for this rare condition, these two unique cases from our institution are noteworthy in their own right. We also survey the current literature to identify risk factors for alveolar hemorrhage following thrombolysis in STEMI patients, in order to understand the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and propose an optimal management strategy.
