Abstract:

Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare condition with a poor prognosis and significant recurrence rates. Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-TPA) has been proven to be an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in adults, but it has not been licensed for use in children. The safety and efficacy of IV-TPA in children should be investigated further. This article reviews the research on IV-TPA treatment in children with pediatric acute ischemic stroke.

Key words: pediatric acute ischemic stroke, alteplase, intravenous thrombolysis, efficacy, safety
