Chinese General Practice Research Progress in Thrombolytic Therapy in Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke SUN Yu - fang ZHANG Qin LI Ji - mei et al. Department of Neurology Beijing Friendship Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China Abstract There has been about 20 years since thrombolytic therapy was used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke AIS. However thrombolysis rate is not satisfactory due to its indications contraindications and complications. Thrombolysis rate is 5% - 10% in the treatment of AIS in other countries but the rate is only about 1. 9% in China. It is an important issue for the clinicians to increase thrombolysis rate in the treatment of AIS. The article summarizes the extension of time window of thrombolytic therapy expansion of age range transient ischemic attack TIA thrombolytic therapy for minor stroke thrombolytic therapy with contraindications and optimal dose.
