Abstract Puncture of a femoral artery for left heart catheterization is considered a relative contraindication for thrombolytic therapy for some days. We treated 9 patients with systemic thrombolysis who had undergone left heart catheterization in the previous hours. Four patients developed a large hematoma, but only 1 required transfusion. We suggest that thrombolytic therapy can be administered soon after left heart catheterization by the femoral approach, provided that continuous care can be taken over the puncture site.
