Conditions

Ischemic Stroke

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.
