Objective: to evaluate predictors the risk of symptomatic intracerebral heamorrhage after thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke. Methods: observative study on 54 patients with acute ischemic stroke at Emergency Department, Bach Mai hospital from 01/2010 to 10/2016. Results: Predictors the risk of symptomatic intracerebral heamorrhage were: age above 70 (OR 2,76; 95% CI 0,73 – 10,52; p = 0,12), time from onset to treatment (OR 1,03; 95% CI 0,34 – 3,13; p = 0,95), systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg (OR 2,0; 95% CI 0,61 – 6,51; p = 0,24), NIHSS score above 12 (OR 3,13; 95% CI 0,63 – 15,51; p = 0,138), glycemia above 10 mmol/l (OR 8,94; 95% CI 1,51 – 51,73; p = 0,003), fibrillation atrial (OR 1,49; 95% 0,49 – 4,56; p = 0,33), history of diebete (OR 6,4; 95% CI 0,67 – 61,03; p = 0,06), history of anticoagulation (OR 1,07; 95% CI 0,22 – 5,11; p = 0,63), history of cerebral infarction (OR 1,49; 95% CI 0,183 – 12,184; p = 0,707), sign of early brain CT (OR 6,14; 95% CI 1,01 – 39,93; p = 0,048). Conclusion: glucose above 10 mmol/l and sign of early brain CT were predictors the risk of symptomatic intracerebral heamorrhage after thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke.

Stroke Thrombolysis

Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is not recommended for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in patients with infective endocarditis due to the risk of hemorrhagic transformation of septic emboli and few reported cases in the literature. Here, we present the successful outcome of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator administration for a patient with acute ischemic stroke who was later found to have infective endocarditis. This case adds to the small number of cases reported in the literature.
