Abstract
We report the case of 7-year-old women with acute ischemic stroke, previously treated with Fontan operation due to complex congenital heart disease at the age of 2 years, who underwent an intra-arterial thrombolysis with a favorable outcome. No controlled randomized trials on thrombolysis among childhood stroke have been conducted yet. This and other similar cases suggest that thrombolysis may also be safe and beneficial in pediatric patients.
