Abstract:
Treatment of acute ischemic stroke is time dependent and technically challenging. Sixty-four percent of hospitals in the U.S. have never given intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for stroke and 40% of the U.S. population lives in a county without a hospital that routinely treats eligible stroke victims with IV tPA. This, the second in a Missouri Medicine series on stroke, summarizes the available acute treatment options and the evolving role of neuro-imaging in directing therapeutic decisions.
