Abstract WP20: Hemorrhagic Conversion Patterns After Stroke Thrombolysis With Alteplase versus Tenecteplase Real-World Experience

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP20-AWP20, February 1, 2024. Importance:Tenecteplase use is more prevalent as the thrombolytic drug of choice for acute ischemic stroke, with results demonstrating its non-inferiority compared to alteplase. Results:Median age was 62.94 for alteplase and 64.45

Thrombolysis for Wake-Up Stroke Versus Non–Wake-Up Unwitnessed Stroke: EOS Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Background:Stroke with unknown time of onset can be categorized into 2 groups; wake-up stroke (WUS) and unwitnessed stroke with an onset time unavailable for reasons other than wake-up (non–wake-up unwitnessed stroke, non-WUS). Death occurred in 4.0% and 0.3%, respectively (P=0.194).
