The influence of unexpected early termination of intravenous rt-PA treatment on clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients

ConclusionSubjective wishes of family members and persistently elevated blood pressure may be the main causes of early termination of thrombolysis, and the 3-month prognosis of patients could be adversely affected by early termination of thrombolytic therapy and cumulative dosage of rt-PA. Certain measures, such as popularizing thrombolytic health education and optimizing blood pressure management before and during thrombolysis, may be helpful for the normal operation of intravenous thrombolysis.
