Risk for Intracranial Hemorrhage after Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Ann Int Med 129:597-604, Gurwitz,J.H.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication of the tPA in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Appropriate drug dosing may reduce the risk for this complication. Other therapies, such as primary coronary angioplasty, may be preferable in patients with acute myocardial infarction who have a history of stroke.
