Health | Thrombolytic agents are used to treat an ongoing, acute ischemic stroke caused by an artery blockage. (references) | |
Researchers funded by the NINDS have learned that restoring blood flow to these cells can be achieved by administrating the clot-dissolving thrombolytic agent t-PA within 3 hours of the start of the stroke. (references) | ||
However, the results of this study showed that, for most patients, this therapy may not work and physicians and investigators should focus on other types of acute stroke therapies, such as thrombolytic agents. (references) | ||
