Thromboelastography for prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Thromboelastography (TEG) provides a rapid assessment of the hemostatic processes of a patient in emergency settings. There are limited data on TEG as a predictive tool for hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We investigated whether TEG values on admission could predict hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
