t-PA | cholesterol crystal embolization | Although there is one case report of cholesterol crystal embolization following t-PA therapy with only extrarenal manifestations ( N Engl J Med 321:1270 , 1989 ) , this is the first reported case of atheroembolic acute renal failure following t-PA therapy . |
