New clot-busting medication simplified stroke treatment in specialized ambulance

Compared with the standard clot-busting medication alteplase, the newer clot-buster known as tenecteplase may offer a safe, effective and simpler way to treat ischemic (clot-caused) stroke in mobile stroke units, according to real-world experiences detailed in a preliminary study to be presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2024. The meeting will be held in Phoenix, Feb. 7-9, and is a world premier meeting for researchers and clinicians dedicated to the science of stroke and brain health.
