Fibrinolysin or agents that convert plasminogen to FIBRINOLYSIN.
Streptococcal fibrinolysin . An enzyme produced by hemolytic streptococci. It hydrolyzes amide linkages and serves as an activator of plasminogen. It is used in thrombolytic therapy and is used also in mixtures with streptodornase (STREPTODORNASE AND STREPTOKINASE). EC 3.4.-.
A proteolytic enzyme in the serine protease family found in many tissues which converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. It has fibrin-binding activity and is immunologically different from UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR. The primary sequence, composed of 527 amino acids, is identical in both the naturally occurring and synthetic proteases.
The natural enzymatic dissolution of FIBRIN.
Use of infusions of FIBRINOLYTIC AGENTS to destroy or dissolve thrombi in blood vessels or bypass grafts.
A product of the lysis of plasminogen (profibrinolysin) by PLASMINOGEN activators. It is composed of two polypeptide chains, light (B) and heavy (A), with a molecular weight of 75,000. It is the major proteolytic enzyme involved in blood clot retraction or the lysis of fibrin and quickly inactivated by antiplasmins.

Optimal thrombolytic strategies for acute myocardial infarction--bolus administration. (1/3072)

Optimal strategies for thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) are still being sought because the TIMI 3 flow rates achievable using standard regimens average approximately 60%. Double bolus administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a novel approach with potential for earlier patency combined with ease of administration. We reviewed total patency rates, TIMI 3 patency rates, mortality, stroke and intracranial haemorrhage rates in the major trials of accelerated infusion tPA/bolus tPA/reteplase in acute myocardial infarction. A direct comparison was performed with results of two recent trials of double bolus (two 50 mg boli, 30 min apart) vs. accelerated infusion tPA: the Double Bolus Lytic Efficacy Trial (DBLE), an angiographic study, and the COBALT Trial, a mortality study. The DBLE trial showed equivalent patency rates for accelerated infusion and double bolus administration of tPA. Reviewing other angiographic trials, total patency and TIMI 3 patency rates achievable with double bolus tPA were comparable to those with accelerated infusion tPA or bolus reteplase administration. The COBALT study demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 7.53% in patients treated with accelerated infusion tPA compared with 7.98% for double bolus tPA treated patients. The small excess in mortality with double bolus treatment was confined to the elderly; in those < or = 75 years, mortality rates were 5.6% and 5.7%, for double bolus and accelerated infusion, respectively, and rates for death or non-fatal stroke were 6.35% and 6.3%, respectively. Comparison with other trials demonstrated mortality, stroke and intracranial haemorrhage rates with double bolus treatment similar to those associated with either accelerated infusion tPA or bolus reteplase treatment. Double bolus administration of tPA to patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with total patency, TIMI 3 patency, mortality, stroke and intracranial haemorrhage rates similar to those associated with either accelerated infusion of tPA or bolus reteplase.  (+info)

Isolation of SMTP-3, 4, 5 and -6, novel analogs of staplabin, and their effects on plasminogen activation and fibrinolysis. (2/3072)

Four novel triprenyl phenol metabolites, designated SMTP-3, -4, -5, and -6, have been isolated from cultures of Stachybotrys microspora IFO 30018 by solvent extraction and successive chromatographic fractionation using silica gel and silica ODS columns. A combination of spectroscopic analyses showed that SMTP-3, -4, -5, and -6 are staplabin analogs, containing a serine, a phenylalanine, a leucine or a tryptophan moiety in respective molecules in place of the N-carboxybutyl portion of the staplabin molecule. SMTP-4, -5, and -6 were active at 0.15 to 0.3 mM in enhancing urokinase-catalyzed plasminogen activation and plasminogen binding to fibrin, as well as plasminogen- and urokinase-mediated fibrinolysis. On the other hand, the concentration of staplabin required to exert such effects was 0.4 to 0.6 mM, and SMTP-3 was inactive at concentrations up to 0.45 mM.  (+info)

Two similar cases of encephalopathy, possibly a reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome: serial findings of magnetic resonance imaging, SPECT and angiography. (3/3072)

Two young women who had encephalopathy that resembled reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome are presented. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of these patients exhibited similar T2-high signal lesions, mostly in the white matter of the posterior hemispheres. Xe-SPECT during the patients' symptomatic period showed hypoperfusion in the corresponding areas, and angiography demonstrated irregular narrowing of the posterior cerebral artery. Clinical manifestations subsided soon after treatment, and the abnormal radiological findings also were almost completely resolved. Thus, we concluded that transient hypoperfusion followed by ischemia and cytotoxic edema might have had a pivotal role in these cases.  (+info)

Combination therapy of fasudil hydrochloride and ozagrel sodium for cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. (4/3072)

Fasudil hydrochloride is a new type of intracellular calcium antagonist, different from the calcium entry blockers that are commonly employed for clinical use. Since September 1995, the combination of fasudil hydrochloride and ozagrel sodium, an inhibitor of thromboxane A2 synthesis, has been used to treat 60 patients at risk of cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The effectiveness of this combination therapy was investigated by comparison with the outcome of 57 patients previously treated with only ozagrel sodium. The combination therapy was significantly more effective (p < 0.01) in reducing the incidence of low density areas on computed tomography scans, and reduced, but not significantly, the occurrence of symptomatic vasospasm. The combination therapy of fasudil hydrochloride and ozagrel sodium has superior effectiveness over only ozagrel sodium in treating patients at risk of vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.  (+info)

Cerebral venous thrombosis: combined intrathrombus rtPA and intravenous heparin. (5/3072)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We chose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined intrathrombus rtPA and intravenous heparin in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). METHODS: We treated 12 patients with symptoms of 1 to 40 days' duration (eg, headache, somnolence, focal deficits, seizures, and nausea and vomiting). Pretreatment MRI disclosed subtle hemorrhagic venous infarction in 4 patients, obvious hemorrhagic infarction in 2, small parenchymal hemorrhage from recent pallidotomy in 1, and no focal lesion in 5. Magnetic resonance venography and contrast venography identified thrombi in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) in 3 patients; transverse/sigmoid sinus (TS/SS) in 2; SSS and both TS/SS in 1; SSS and 1 TS/SS in 5; and SSS, 1 TS/SS, and straight sinus in 1 patient. A loading dose of rtPA was instilled throughout the clot at 1 mg/cm, followed by continuous intrathrombus infusion at 1 to 2 mg/h. Intravenous heparin was infused concomitantly. RESULTS: Flow was restored completely in 6 patients and partially in 3, with a mean rtPA dose of 46 mg (range, 23 to 128 mg) at a mean time of 29 hours (range, 13 to 77 hours). Symptoms improved in these 9 patients concomitantly with flow restoration. Flow could not be restored in 3 patients. In 1 of them, treatment was stopped when little progress had been made, and fibrinogen level dropped to 118 mg/dL. In the other 2 patients, hemorrhagic worsening occurred, and treatment was abbreviated after initial rtPA dosing. In 1 of these, the hematoma was evacuated. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience with intrathrombus rtPA in conjunction with intravenous heparin in patients with CVT is encouraging. This therapy should probably be regarded as unsafe in patients with obvious hemorrhage. Time to restore flow may be faster than with urokinase (an average of 71 hours has been reported for 29 documented patients). Further evaluation of rtPA with heparin in CVT is warranted.  (+info)

Delayed increase in infarct volume after cerebral ischemia: correlations with thrombolytic treatment and clinical outcome. (6/3072)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Growing experimental evidence indicates that the development of cerebral ischemic damage is slower than previously believed. The aims of this work were (1) to study the evolution of CT hypoattenuation between 24 to 36 hours and 7 days in ischemic stroke patients; (2) to evaluate whether thrombolytic treatment given within 6 hours of stroke affects delayed infarction evolution; and (3) to investigate possible correlations between lesion volume changes over time and clinical outcome. METHODS: Of 620 patients included in the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study 1 (ECASS1), we selected 450 patients whose control CT scans at day 1 (CT1) and day 7 (CT7) were available. They had been randomly divided into 2 groups: 206 patients had been treated with rtPA and 244 with placebo. CT1 and CT7 were classified according to the location of the infarct. The volume of CT hypoattenuation was measured using the formula AxBxC/2 for irregular volumes. The 95% confidence interval of inter- and intrarater variability was used to determine whether significant changes in lesion volume had occurred between CT1 and CT7. Clinical severity was evaluated by means of the Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) at entry (SSS0) and at day 30 (SSS30). RESULTS: Mean lesion volumes were significantly (P<0.0001) higher at day 7 than at day 1 in all the subgroups of patients and particularly in patients with a subcortical lesion. Of the 450 patients studied, 287 (64%) did not show any significant change in lesion volume between CT1 and CT7, 143 (32%) showed a significant increase and the remaining 20 (4%) a significant decrease. No significant correlation was observed between treatment and lesion evolution between CT1 and CT7. Both clinical scores (SSS0 and SSS30) and degree of neurological recovery were significantly (P<0.05) lower in the subgroup of patients with a significant lesion volume increase than in the other 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: In approximately two thirds of patients, infarct size is established 24 to 36 hours after stroke onset, whereas in the remaining one third, changes in lesion volume may occur later than the first 24 to 36 hours. Many factors may be responsible for delayed infarct enlargement and for a lower degree of clinical recovery, both of which may occur despite early recombinant tissue plasminogen activator treatment.  (+info)

Thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator alters adhesion molecule expression in the ischemic rat brain. (7/3072)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We tested the hypothesis that treatment of embolic stroke with recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rhtPA) alters cerebral expression of adhesion molecules. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion by a single fibrin-rich clot. P-selectin, E-selectin, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) immunoreactivity was measured at 6 or 24 hours after embolic stroke in control rats and in rats treated with rhtPA at 1 or 4 hours after stroke. To examine the therapeutic efficacy of combined rhtPA and anti-ICAM-1 antibody treatment at 4 hours after embolization, ischemic lesion volumes were measured in rats treated with rhtPA alone, rats treated with rhtPA and anti-ICAM-1 antibody, and nontreated rats. RESULTS: Administration of rhtPA at 1 hour after embolization resulted in a significant reduction of adhesion molecule vascular immunoreactivity after embolization in the ipsilateral hemisphere compared with corresponding control rats. However, when rhtPA was administered to rats at 4 hours after embolization, significant increases of adhesion molecule immunoreactivity in the ipsilateral hemisphere were detected. A significant increase of ICAM-1 immunoreactivity was also detected in the contralateral hemisphere at 24 hours after ischemia. A significant reduction in lesion volume was found in rats treated with the combination of rhtPA and anti-ICAM-1 antibody compared with rats treated only with rhtPA. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that the time of initiation of thrombolytic therapy alters vascular immunoreactivity of inflammatory adhesion molecules in the ischemic brain and that therapeutic benefit can be obtained by combining rhtPA and anti-ICAM-1 antibody treatment 4 hours after stroke.  (+info)

Intra-arterial rtPA treatment of stroke assessed by diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI. (8/3072)

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and perfusion-weighted MRI (PWI) are new techniques that can be used for the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke. However, their potential role in the management of patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) has yet to be determined. CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors present the case of a 73-year-old man who was treated with intra-arterial rtPA, and they compare findings on DWI and PWI scans with angiography. PWI revealed decreased cerebral perfusion corresponding to an area that was not successfully recanalized, but revealed no abnormality in regions in which blood flow was restored. DWI was unremarkable in the region that was reperfused early (3 hours) but revealed hyperintensity in an area that was reperfused 3. 5 hours after symptom onset and in the area that was not reperfused. CONCLUSIONS: Findings on PWI correlated well with angiography, and DWI detected injured tissue in the hyperacute stage, whereas conventional MRI findings were negative. This suggests that these techniques may be useful to noninvasively evaluate the success of thrombolytic therapy.  (+info)

Results Patients who received supportive treatment with heparin had significantly higher occurrences of any (OR, 2.46; 95% CI, 1.15 to 5.28) and symptomatic ICH (OR, 3.71; 95% CI, 1.18 to 14.95). Additionally, these patients were less likely to have a moderate clinical outcome after 90 days (modified Rankin scale 0-3; OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.72), but were more likely to have a fatal outcome after 90 days (OR, 2.84; 95% CI 1.10 to 7.31). These findings persisted in patients who received both DAT and heparin, but not for patients who received both tirofiban and heparin. ...
Frozen and lyophilized compositions for a metalloproteinase fibrinolytic agent (fibrolase or NAT), a method for preparing the lyophilized composition, and a kit and method for reconstituting the lyophilized composition are described herein.
Data was collected on each patient, a study investigator with stroke expertise analyzed the images for classification into the various groups (lobar, non-lobar, unclassifiable, or multiple), and antithrombotic drug was categorized by type (antiplatelet, antithrombotic, or both). Case fatality rate was recorded at 30 days. Patients taking antithrombotic drugs had higher case fatality rate at 30 days, overall, when compared to patients not taking antithrombotics. Bivariate analysis revealed that restarting antithrombotics was more likely in younger patients, but median ICH volume was not found to differ between survivors who restarted or stopped antithrombotic agents. The proportion of patients restarting was also highest in those who were taking vitamin K antagonists before ICH. The strengths of the study included the large sample size and inclusion of multiple cohorts representing different settings. The variation between patients suggested that the cohort of origin played a role and the authors ...
Despite the interesting conclusions of the PRAGUE-14 study, the article fails to show important information that might be required to draw the right conclusions. First, while it is known that the impact of cessation of antithrombotic therapy partly depends on the preoperative health status of the patient, the authors refrained from presenting data on the specific interaction between preoperative comorbidities and the decision to stop antithrombotic therapy, in particular in light of a bridging protocol. For instance, the authors suggest in the discussion that previous percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary stent implantation is an independent risk factor for perioperative complications. However, it is unclear from their study whether they included patients with a coronary stent who stopped antithrombotic therapy before surgery, which may have a deleterious effect on outcome, leading to myocardial infarction and mortality. This information could be provided if the authors performed a ...

ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) is caused by thrombotic occlusion of a major coronary artery. Rapid restoration of coronary blood flow is essential in preventing myocardial necrosis. Early reperfusion of the infarct-related artery limits infarct size and improves outcome. Achieving the shortest possible delay between symptom onset and reperfusion is therefore one of the most critical factors in the management of STEMI.. ...

The records of all patients undergoing free tissue transfer at one institution between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed. Patients requiring reexploration for pedicle thrombosis were identified. Chi-square and the two-sided Fishers exact tests were used to compare differences between the two groups. Two hundred seventy-five free flaps were performed in 259 patients. In 27 cases (10 percent), reexploration for impending failure was performed, and pedicle thrombosis was observed in 22 cases. In 15 cases, rTPA was administered. Ten of these flaps (67 percent) were successfully salvaged, compared to 2/7 (29 ...
In the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study 3 (ECASS3), the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis between 3 and 4.5 hours following onset of ischaemic stroke was investigated. Compared to the placebo group, patients treated with intravenous alteplase had a better functional outcome after 3 months (odds ratio 1.34, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.76). The risk of symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage was higher in the alteplase group (2.4% versus 0.3%). The time window for intravenous alteplase can be safely extended to 4.5 hours, but efforts should be made to start treatment as soon as possible, since the effectiveness ofalteplase decreases over time.
Among 7193 patients treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator, 516 (7·2%) died during hospitalization. Factors associated with in-hospital death were older age, male gender, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease, and history of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Increasing age, higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, and history of dyslipidemia were associated with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. There was no difference in the rates of in-hospital death or symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage among patients treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator within three-hours of time last known to be well and those treated between three and 4·5 hours after this time ...

Alteplase is the only drug licensed for acute ischemic stroke, and in this formulation, the thrombolytic agent recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is stabilized in a solution of L-arginine. Improved functional outcomes after alteplase administration have been shown in clinical trials, along with improved histological and behavioral measures in experimental models of embolic stroke. However, in animal models of mechanically induced ischemia, alteplase can exacerbate ischemic damage. We have systematically reviewe d the literature of both rtPA and L-arginine administration in mechanical focal ischemia. The rtPA worsens ischemic damage under certain conditions, whereas L-arginine can have both beneficial and deleterious effects dependent on the time of administration. The interaction between rtPA and L-arginine may be leading to the production of nitric oxide, which can cause direct neurotoxicity, altered cerebral blood flow, and disruption of the neurovascular unit. We suggest that alternative

At both the 60- and 90-minute time points, reteplase demonstrated significantly higher rates of total (TIMI grade 2 or 3) and complete (TIMI grade 3) patencies than did front-loaded alteplase. Reteplase achieved 81.8% total patency (51.2% complete) as early as 60 minutes after the start of therapy, in contrast to 66.1% (37.4% complete) in the front-loaded alteplase group. The results suggest that reteplase achieves coronary patency 30 minutes sooner than alteplase. The reteplase patency rates reported here compare favorably with those achieved with front-loaded alteplase in the TIMI 4 trial.19 In contrast to the present trial, TIMI 4 included patients only up to 6 hours after the onset of pain and excluded patients ,80 years old. Therefore, somewhat higher patency rates were to be expected.. The earliest angiographic assessment in the GUSTO trial took place at 90 minutes.5 In this trial, front-loaded alteplase achieved 80.8% total patency (53.8 complete), a result similar to the 60-minute ...

Questions and answers on antithrombotic therapy: a companion document of the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation†
This study did not primarily address the question of by which means arterial recanalization can best be achieved. Only controlled randomized trials can answer this question.24 We learned, however, that the frequency of recanalization was higher with smaller arteries and good collaterals, confirming observations by others.9 15 16 Consequently, we found that patients displaying recanalization of the MCA at 8 or 24 hours after the onset of symptoms were in better clinical condition at admission than patients without recanalization, and patients with large parenchymal hypodensity as shown by first CT had a smaller chance for arterial recanalization at 24 hours after stroke. SSS score at admission, extent of parenchymal hypodensity and brain swelling on diagnostic CT, site of occlusion, and state of collaterals correlated significantly with clinical outcome 4 weeks after stroke. It is therefore questionable whether the relation between arterial recanalization and good clinical outcome is causal or ...
In large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, it is unclear whether severity of ischemia is involved in early post-thrombolysis recanalization over and above thrombus site and length. Here we assessed the relationships between perfusion parameters and early recanalization following intravenous thrombolysis administration in LVO patients. From a multicenter registry, we identified 218 thrombolysed LVO patients referred for thrombectomy with both (i) pre-thrombolysis MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), T2*-imaging, MR-angiography and dynamic susceptibility-contrast perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI); and (ii) evaluation of recanalization on first angiographic run or non-invasive imaging 3 h from thrombolysis start. Infarct core volume on DWI, PWI-DWI mismatch volume and hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR; defined as Tmax ! 10 s volume/ Tmax ! 6 s volume, low HIR indicating milder hypoperfusion) were determined using a commercially available software. Early recanalization occurred in 34 (16%) patients

The median time from stroke onset to tPA was 131 minutes. Clinical and MRI variables (change in perfusion and/or diffusion weighted lesion volume) were compared between those with excellent outcome defined as 3-month modified Rankin score (mRS) of 0 to I and those with incomplete recovery (mRS , 1). In multivariate logististic regression analysis, the most powerful independent predictor ...
Materials and Methods: Data of patients treated with IV rt-PA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset between March 2015 and January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups; those with isolated MCA occlusion and those with no large vessel occlusion. Large vessel occlusion was detected with contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography performed before IV rt-PA. Additionally, demographic and clinical data of the patients were analyzed. The clinical outcomes of the patients were determined using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months after treatment ...

Antithrombotic medications reduce thromboembolic events by inhibiting platelet aggregation and coagulation. Antiplatelet drugs and oral anticoagulants are examples of antithrombotic medications and are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in both primary and secondary care.1 Clinicians are familiar with their use, however antiplatelets and oral anticoagulants are the drug classes most commonly implicated in adverse drug reactions occurring both in the community and in hospital.23 Increasing numbers of patients have an indication for combination antiplatelet and oral anticoagulant therapy. For example, more than one million people in the UK have atrial fibrillation, of whom approximately one third also have an indication for antiplatelet therapy as secondary prevention.4 Despite the need to understand the balance between benefit and risk, there are limited randomised data investigating antithrombotic co-prescription. Current guidelines are therefore based on expert opinion and the ...
We thank the authors for this timely and concise focused update of the 2013 guidelines for early management of patients with acute ischemic stroke on endovascular treatment.1 We have a concern about the interpretation of the data on patients who were not pretreated with intravenous alteplase. In the synopsis of the Multicenter Randomized Clinical trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) study the authors state that There were too few patients who did not receive IV alteplase to draw any conclusions. Indeed, only 55 patients without previous intravenous alteplase were included in MR CLEAN. However, subgroup analysis showed a similar effect size in patients not treated with intravenous alteplase (odds ratio [OR], 2.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69-6.13]) as in patients pretreated with intravenous alteplase (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.22-2.40), without statistical interaction between endovascular treatment and intravenous alteplase.2 Randomized Trial ...

BACKGROUND: Although pre-injury antithrombotic agents, including antiplatelets and anticoagulants, are historically associated with expansion of traumatic intraparenchymal hemorrhage (tIPH), the literature has poorly elucidated the actual risk of hematoma expansion on repeat computed tomography (CT). The objective is to determine the effect of antithrombotic agents on hematoma expansion in tIPH by comparing patients with and without pre-injury antithrombotic medication. METHODS: The volume of all tIPHs over a 5-year period at an academic Level 1 Trauma Center was measured retrospectively. The initial tIPH was divided into three equally-sized quantiles. The third tertile, representing the largest subset of tIPH, was then removed from the study population because these patients reflect a different pathophysiological mechanism that may require a more acute and aggressive level of care with reversal agents and/or operative management. Per institutional policy, all patients with small- to moderate-sized
Acute vertebrobasilar thrombosis is often associated with high mortality and prolonged disability. Therapeutic route and the time window for systemic thrombolysis in acute settings remain uncertain. We describe a case of severe acute ischemic stroke due to vertebrobasilar thrombosis who achieved rapid arterial recanalization and remarkable clinical recovery during ultrasound enhanced intravenous thrombolysis, initiated at 4.5 hours after the symptom-onset. We discuss some important issues, related to the final diagnosis, that arise due to the complete clinical recovery, rapid arterial recanalization and absence of any acute infarction on subsequent neuroimaging. © 2010 by the American Society of Neuroimaging ...
BACKGROUND: Thrombolytic drugs may dissolve blood vessel clots in acute ischemic stroke. The overall benefit of intravenous thrombolysis is substantial, but up to 2/3 of patients with large clots may not achieve re-opening of the vessel and up to 40% of the patients may remain severely disabled or die. Ultrasound accelerates clot break-up (lysis) when combined with thrombolysis (sonothrombolysis) and increases the likelihood of functional independence at 3 months. Adding intravenous ultrasound contrast (gaseous microspheres) further enhances the thrombolytic effect (contrast enhanced sonothrombolysis = CEST). Contrast enhanced ultrasound may also accelerate clot break-up in the absence of thrombolytic drugs (contrast enhanced sonolysis = CES ...
In our study, there was a clear drop in the number of AIS patients treated with intravenous tPA during the epidemic. Regardless of the time from onset, there were 683 patients admitted for stroke during epidemic and 1614 patients in the same period in 2019. The percentage of intravenous tPA eligible patients between two periods are similar as 9.81% in 2020 and 8.12% in 2019. The reduction of total tPA treated patients was likely related to the lock down of the city, which made it difficult to access medical and nonmedical transportation for stroke patients from the surrounding community hospitals to the tertiary hospitals, especially if the initial stroke symptoms were mild. In addition, modifications of the environement, such as the decrease in air pollution, work stress and decreased alcohol binge drinking might have an impact on the incidence of stroke. Further studies are required to explore this hypothesis. Furthermore, the time to the administration of intravenous tPA was longer. The DNT ...
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the trends of intravenous (IV) thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to our hospital between 2012 and 2014 and investigate the effects of a 24-hours (h) stroke thrombolysis emergency treatment on the intra-hospital clinical data and outcomes of these patients treated with IV rt-PA thrombolysis. BACKGROUND: Although pre-notification of stroke by emergency medical services have been endorsed by the national recommendations and implemented in some developed countries, the development in China is limited ...

Results In all, 3184 patients were included in these analyses. Antithrombotic-associated ICH (364 patients, 11%) was not associated with a significantly increased risk of death or dependency (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.93 to 2.04). There was no heterogeneity in the BP-lowering treatment effect on death or dependency. Among 1309 patients who underwent follow-up CT after 24 h, absolute increase in haematoma±IVH volume was larger (5.2/5.0 mL) in those with compared to those without prior antithrombotics (2.2/0.9 mL; p=0.022/0.031). Intensive BP lowering reduced haematoma±IVH growth by 4.7/7.1 mL in patients on antithrombotics versus 1.3/1.4 mL in those without, although these differences did not reach statistical significance (p homogeneity=0.104/0.059). ...
Few trials comparing primary PCI with fibrinolytic therapy enrolled adequate numbers of older patients. Existing subset analyses from trials that randomized patients to primary PCI or fibrinolytic therapy suggest that PCI is a preferred strategy in older patients. The Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI-I) study, published in 1993, randomized patients to immediate PCI or fibrinolytic therapy (tPA). Of the 395 patients enrolled, 38% were ≥65 years and 20.5% were ≥70 years of age.36 Compared with patients who received fibrinolytic therapy, patients who underwent PCI had a trend toward fewer in-hospital deaths (2.6% versus 6.5%; P=0.06) and less death or recurrent MI (5.1% versus 12.0%; P=0.02).36 In the elderly subgroup (≥65 years of age), PCI was also associated with a lower composite of death or MI than was fibrinolytic therapy (8.6% versus 20.0%; P=0.048).65 Elderly patients were more likely to have stroke (3.3% versus 0.8%; P=0.07) or ICH (2.7% versus 0.0%; P=0.01) than ...

p,The management of antithrombotics during the periendoscopic period is traditionally represented as a doubleedged sword for cardiologists and endoscopists. Appropriate administration prevents thromboembolic events, whereas excessive administration provokes bleeding events. Therefore, cardiologists and endoscopists must consider the risks of bleeding and thromboembolism in individual cases, before deciding whether to continue antithrombotic use. Several guidelines exist concerning antithrombotic management in Asian and Western countries. These guidelines generally classify procedural bleeding risk and thromboembolic risk into high risk and low risk groups and recommend that the two risks be weighed when managing a given patient. Moreover, they generally do not recommend interrupting antithrombotics during the periendoscopic period unless absolutely necessary; however, the details surrounding this point differ among the guidelines after several revisions. In this review, we describe the present ...
The incidence of VSR in the pre-thrombolytic era was between 1-3 percent, and has declined with the use of fibrinolytic agents to 0.2 percent(5). The time of occurrence has changed from 3-5 days from the onset of the AMI in the pre-thrombolytic era to less than 24 hours with thrombolysis(6). The known risk determinants for this complication are, advanced age, female sex, no previous smoking, anterior MI, worse killip class and, increased heart rate on admission(6). On angiography, there is a higher occurance of total occlusion of the IRA (57%), usually the LAD, less collaterals with low TIMI flow and low ejection fraction(7). The Shunt degree depends on the size of the VSD, the ratio of pulmonic vascular resistance to systemic resistance and the the contractility of both ventricules.. ...
