Stumbling Blocks to Stroke Thrombolysis: An Indian Perspective.

Background And Purpose: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Developing countries, however, still lag behind in providing timely thrombolytic therapy (TLT) to many eligible patients owing to various reasons. This study aims to identify such factors.

Stroke Thrombolysis: Beating the Clock.

Background: Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) has revolutionized the management of acute ischemic stroke. Shorter door-to-imaging and door-to-needle (DTN) times are crucial for improving the outcomes in thrombolysed patients. Our observational study evaluated the door-to-imaging time (DIT) and DTN times for all thrombolysed patients.
