[Comment] Improving thrombolysis efficiency for acute ischaemic stroke
AI SummaryThis article discusses the use of tenecteplase as a thrombolytic agent for acute ischaemic stroke, comparing it to alteplase. Tenecteplase has been shown to be non-inferior to alteplase in recent trials, with practical advantages such as a longer plasma half-life and the ability to be delivered as a bolus injection. Additionally, tenecteplase is more… Continue reading [Comment] Improving thrombolysis efficiency for acute ischaemic stroke
