Systemic thrombolytic therapy of ischemic stroke. Clinical follow-up according to the Regional Vascular Center (Yakutsk) data
Abstract
Systemic thrombolytic therapy can significantly reduce the degree of neurological deficit and improve outcome in patients with ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of this method was illustrated by the presented clinical report of systemic thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patient in Regional Vascular Centre, Yakutsk. The “dramatic” decrease of focal symptoms (NIHSS score 2 points) occurred after thrombolysis in 44-old-year patient had initial severe neurological deficits (hemiplegia, hypoesthesia, dysarthria, gaze paresis (NIHSS score 15 points)). This led to the full recovery of lost function and to the independence of the patient’s daily life. Thus, systemic thrombolytic therapy can significantly reduce the degree of neurological deficit and improve outcome in patients with ischemic stroke.
