Use of Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Taking Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) Before Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: -While experience of using rt-PA in ischemic stroke patients on a NOAC is limited, these preliminary observations suggest that rt-PA appears to be reasonably well tolerated without prohibitive risks for adverse events among selected NOAC treated patients. Future study should evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous rt-PA in ischemic stroke patients taking NOACs. PMID: 28119380 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
