Abstract
Selective infusion of urokinase into occluded coronary bypass vein grafts is effective in restoring patency. We report the occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage complicating an intra‐graft urokinase infusion protocol. The patient had known cerebral vascular structural pathology without recent clinical complications. Caution with the use of thrombolysis in this setting is suggested.Keywords
