Intravenous thrombolytic therapy in patients with mild stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Mild strokes are often excluded from intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) because of their mild symptoms and unclear risk-benefit ratio. However, in recent years, more and more studies have confirmed that about 1/3 of patients with mild stroke who have not received IVT have a poor outcome. Although a large number of studies have shown that IVT treatment can reduce the morbidity and mortality of patients with mild stroke, relevant studies also consider that they do not benefit from it. Whether need to be treated with IVT in patients with mild stroke has become a hot research topic. This article reviews the outcomes of mild stroke, whether IVT treatment is beneficial, and which patients with mild stroke are eligible for IVT treatment.
