Intravenous thrombolysis for acute stroke. [PDF]
Intravenous t-PA is effective if given to appropriate patients within 3 hours of stroke onset, and its effectiveness increases even within the first 3 hours when given as soon as possible. t-PA is reasonably safe if used in a carefully defined manner that ensures close attention to blood pressure, careful patient monitoring, no use of heparin and ...

Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase remains the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Although IVT can be started up to 4.5 hours after symptoms' onset, it is all the more effective and safe when started early. It allows a 10% absolute reduction in the risk of handicap or death at 3 months, despite a 2-7% risk of symptomatic ...

Intravenous Thrombolysis in a Stroke Patient Receiving Rivaroxaban [PDF]
Rivaroxaban, a novel direct factor Xa inhibitor with consistent anticoagulant properties, was found to be safer and equally effective as warfarin in the prevention of embolic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation [1, 2] . Effective anticoagulation predisposes to bleeding and represents a contraindication for intravenous thrombolysis ...
