Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is a powerful treatment for acute ischemic stroke. However, its use is often limited by multiple absolute or relative contraindications, such as ongoing anticoagulation therapy, delayed presentation, history of intracerebral hemorrhage, or a history of recent myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke.
This webinar will discuss the current evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of IVT in these challenging clinical scenarios. First, Dr. Meinel will present an intriguing clinical case that highlights the potential dilemmas stroke physicians may have to face within a limited time. Next, Dr. Kargiotis will review the relevant literature and current guidelines on the use of IVT across different clinical situations.
The final part of the webinar will feature an interactive discussion.
