  • Title: Thrombolytic therapy for stroke: the new paradigm.
    Author: Levine SR.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (1995); 1997 Nov 15; 32(11):57-64, 69-73. PubMed ID: 9385314.
    Abstract:
    Roughly 80% of patients with acute stroke have thromboocclusive disease and may benefit from clot lysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. To be effective, however, such treatment must be administered within three hours of stroke onset in carefully selected patients. Hospital protocols that mobilize an acute stroke team to minimize delays are needed nationwide.
