A case series on treatment of central and branch retinal artery occlusion with intravenous tenecteplase

Central and branch retinal artery occlusions are disabling ischemic strokes of the retina for which established acute treatments are lacking. This is the first published report of the use of intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) for retinal artery occlusion, in which we describe the clinical course of four patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and one patient with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO).
