Abstract:

Thrombolytic therapy (TLT) is the most efficient method of reperfusion therapy in ischemic stroke (IS), considerably increasing the number of patients with good functional restoration obtained. Carrying out selective intraarterial TLT (IA TLT) is feasible within the framework of a wider therapeutic window (up to 6-8 hours from the onset of the disease) under angiographic control and a possibility of individual dosing of a fibrinolytic employed. The present study demonstrated high efficiency of selective IATLT based on two clinical examples of patients presenting with IS. In the first case, a 55-year-old male patient with occlusion of M1 segment of the right median cerebral artery (MCA) and a baseline NIH score equalling 13 underwent IA TLT preformed 7 hours after the onset of IS, which led to complete recanalization of the vessel after 40 minutes, and resulted in a considerable clinical improvement (8 points by the NIH scale after TLT). The second case describes a 64-year-old female patient presenting with segment C7 stenosis of the left internal carotid artery and occlusion of segment M1 2 of the left MCA (20 points by the NIH scale). Carrying out IA TLT also promoted restoration of the blood flow after 60 minutes and restoration of the disordered functions (NIHSS score 14). Hence, the described examples demonstrate high efficacy of intra-arterial thrombolysis in management of patients with ischemic stroke.
