Fibrinogen degradation coagulopathy and bleeding complications after stroke thrombolysis
Conclusion:
This study lends strong support to the concept that prominent fibrinogen turnover after IV stroke thrombolysis—a condition termed "early fibrinogen degradation coagulopathy"—is a relevant cause of major bleeding complications. Rigorous testing of more fibrin-specific thrombolytic agents in the setting of acute stroke is warranted.
