    AbstractCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with certain bleeding risks especially if thrombolysis is included in the treatment. Even though these risks are known it is not a contraindication with CPR after thrombolysis or thrombolysis after CPR. We present a case of a bleeding ruptured spleen after thrombolysis of the popliteal artery due to a occluded aneurysm in a patient with myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation. As for many others with this complication, the patient did not survive.
