Thrombolysis in recurrent lacunar stroke: a case example
1Department of Neurology, People Hospital, Vietnam. dr_nguyenhuythang@yahoo.com
Background And Purpose:
We report a case of intravenous thrombolysis in a patient with early recurrent stroke. A 62-year-old man recovered nearly completely after a lacunar infarct of the left putamen. He suffered stroke recurrence 7 days later due to a new infarct in the left internal capsule. Intravenous alteplase 0.9 mg/kg was administered 40 min after the symptom onset resulting in significant neurologic improvement.
Conclusion:
Intravenous thrombolysis may be safe for early recurrent lacunar stroke in patients with relatively small risk of hemorrhage.
