Patients meeting target mismatch criteria were analyzed as a subgroup to identify whether they had different treatment responses from the pooled group. Results: Of 146 pooled patients, 71 received alteplase and 75 received tenecteplase. Tenecteplase-Treated patients had greater early clinical improvement (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score change: Tenecteplase, 7; alteplase, 2; P=0.018) and less parenchymal hematoma (2 of 75 versus 10 of 71; P=0.02). The pooled group did not show improved patient outcomes when treated with tenecteplase (modified Rankin scale score 0-1: odds ratio, 1.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-3.51; P=0.102) compared with alteplase therapy. However, in patients with target mismatch (33 tenecteplase, 35 alteplase), treatment with tenecteplase was associated with greater early clinical improvement (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score change: Tenecteplase, 6; alteplase, 1; P < 0.001) and better late independent recovery (modified Rankin scale score 0-1: odds ratio, 2.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-5.94; P=0.032) than those treated with alteplase. Conclusions: Tenecteplase may offer an improved efficacy and safety profile compared with alteplase, benefits possibly exaggerated in patients with baseline computed tomography perfusion-defined target mismatch.

Intravenous tPA was administered 60 minutes post-occlusion (n = 6-7/group). Sustained recanalization rates were 0%, 17%, 67% and 71%, for 0.9, 1.8, 4.5, and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Median time to sustained recanalization onset decreased with increasing dosage. We conclude that 10 mg/kg of tPA is too effective, whereas 0.9 mg/kg is ineffective for lysis of occlusive thrombi formed in situ. Neither dose mimics clinical tPA responses. A dose of 2x the clinical dose is a more appropriate mimic of clinical tPA recanalization in this model.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:44:50 AEST ]]> Thrombolysis for acute stroke in Australia: outcomes from the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke registry (2002-2008) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10952 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:15 AEDT ]]> The GP's role in acute stroke management https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10430 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:17 AEDT ]]> Regional very low cerebral blood volume predicts hemorrhagic transformation better than diffusion-weighted imaging volume and thresholded apparent diffusion coefficient in acute ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10749 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:20 AEDT ]]> Stroke thrombolysis: save a minute, save a day https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20950 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:07 AEDT ]]> Cerebral blood flow is the optimal CT perfusion parameter for assessing infarct core https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16967 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:24 AEDT ]]> Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) utilisation by rural clinicians in acute ischaemic stroke: an audit of current practice and clinical outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19727 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:44 AEDT ]]> Stroke units, tissue plasminogen activator, aspirin and neuroprotection: Which stroke intervention could provide the greatest community benefit? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:287 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:50 AEDT ]]> Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) utilisation by rural clinicians in acute ischaemic stroke: a survey of barriers and enablers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28585 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:29 AEDT ]]> Perfusion CT: is it clinically useful? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4781 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:20:39 AEDT ]]> EPITHET: where next?
