ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Thrombolysis becomes an emerging therapeutic option for acute ischemic stroke. However, few reports exist on its use in the very elderly. We investigated whether there is a difference in the effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) and/or intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis between patients aged > or =80 years and those aged or =80 years, 21% of patients received IV or IA or combined thrombolysis while 23% of 980 patients or =80 years, and 1.71 (1.05-2.78) in those or =80 years versus <80 years.
