Abstract:Background: Evidence to support cryoprecipitate for reversal of alteplase-related hemorrhagic conversion of acute ischemic stroke is limited. Guidelines recommend cryoprecipitate as first line treatment, followed by aminocaproic acid as a conditional recommendation with very low-quality evidence. The purpose of this case series was to describe the use of cryoprecipitate for alteplase-related hemorrhagic conversion of acute ischemic stroke. Methods: This was an IRB-approved retrospective case series of adults w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
