Fibrinogen Decrease after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients Is a Risk Factor for Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Intravenous thrombolysis is an effective treatment in acute stroke patients, but it increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhages. Our aim is to establish if fibrinogen depletion increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
