Assessing outcomes of acute myocarditis in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective tertiary center experience.

Objectives: To assess the clinical course and long-term outcomes of complicated and uncomplicated AM in Saudi Arabia. Acute myocarditis (AM) can have different presentations and outcomes based on different factors, one of which is left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Methods: Data from 382 patients with suspected AM, admitted between January 2016 and October 2023, were reviewed.

Intravenous Tenecteplase vs Alteplase Before Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients with Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke. A Systematic Review & Meta-analysis.

Background: The use of Alteplase (ALT) bridging to endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the standard approach in treating patients with large vessel stroke (LVO). Tenecteplase (TNK) has emerged as an equivalent fibrinolytic agent in treating ischemic stroke due to its remarkable pharmacological characteristics. This study aims to compare the use of intravenous TNK to ALT bridging to MT in patients with LVO.
