Ischemic Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
After intravenous thrombolysis, the overall recanalization rate is 46%, and recclusion after initial recanalization occurs in 14-34%. In the MR TEA, the investigators compared the effects of administration of tirofiban in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous alteplase thrombolysis with alteplase alone.
Interventions
Tirofiban Injection after the alteplase intravenous thrombolysis
Only alteplase intravenous thrombolysis

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age ≥18 * Ischemic stroke symptom with onset ≤4.5 hours treated with IV rt-PA according with local guidelines. * 6≤ NIHSS ≤20 before IV tPA, or NIHSS \>20 but decrease ≥ 8 after IV rt-PA. * ≥ 4 point total NIHSS or ≥ 2 point in one NIHSS category during and after the IV rt-PA compared to immediately before worsening, an emergency CT scan should be performed to exclude intracranial hemorrhage * Patients or their legally acceptable representative agreed to the treatment and signed the informed consent form
Exclusion criteria
