Safety of Thrombolysis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Cerebral Cavernous Malformations [Brief Reports]

Conclusions— Given the limitations of our study (mainly low number of patients with CCM), the risk of thrombolysis-associated hemorrhage in patients with CCM remains uncertain. Although our data do not suggest an increased hazard from thrombolysis in patients with CCM, larger studies are necessary to determine definitively the influence of CCMs on parenchymal hemorrhage and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
