Intravenous Recombinant Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator

Defining intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator failure.

Optimizing refolding condition for recombinant tissue plasminogen activator

Low molecular size additives such as L-arginine and the redox compounds have been used both in the culturemedium and in vitro refolding to increase recombinant proteins production. Additives increase proteinrefolding and yield of active proteins by suppressing aggregate formation or enhancing refolding process.In this work, a comparative study was performed on refolding of rec...

4.5-hour time window for intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator is established firmly.

This is a clear case. Yes! The patient should immediately be treated with the standard dose of rt-PA as per approval in Europe and many other countries on this planet. After the results of all pooled analyses (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke [NINDS], European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study 1–2 [ECASS 1–2], Alteplase Thrombolysis for Acute Noninterventional Therapy in Isc...

Intravenous Recombinant Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator in Patients With Unstable Angina Pectoris

Because thrombus formation may contribute to coronary obstruction in patients with unstable angina pectoris, we performed a pilot investigation to determine whether thrombolytic therapy can relieve coronary narrowing in this acute ischemic syndrome. Sixty-seven patients with rest angina and angiographic evidence of coronary stenosis were randomly assigned to receive either low-dose intravenous ...

Early intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator in vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND The optimal therapy of vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke is under debate. In the case of underlying basilar artery occlusion, intra-arterial thrombolysis is recommended. Because this pathologic condition is rarely found and the procedure is time consuming and restricted to specialized centers, the question arises whether early intravenous thrombolysis could also effectively be applied ...
