Alteplase versus heparin in acute pulmonary embolism: randomised trial assessing right-ventricular function and pulmonary perfusion.
In our case, we decided to administer intravenous heparin plus
alteplase as a systemic thrombolytic.
Japan
Alteplase Clinical Trial (J-ACT) research results suggest that a low dose of tPA (0.6 mg/kg) intravenous thrombolytic therapy in the Japanese population can obtain similar clinical efficacy as the standard dose of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and can reduce the risk of SICH (18).
second-generation devices) performed in addition to early
alteplase treatment within 6 hours of AIS in suitable patients doubles the rate of angiographic revascularisation at 24 hours and functional independence at 3 months.

alteplase after reversal of dabigatran with idarucizumab.
Campbell, Ph.D., from the Melbourne Brain Centre in Australia, and colleagues randomized 202 patients with ischemic stroke who had occlusion of the internal carotid, basilar, or middle cerebral artery, and who were eligible for thrombectomy, to receive tenecteplase (101 patients) or
alteplase (101 patients) within 4.5 hours after symptom onset.
For patients with blood pressure lower than 220/120 mm Hg who did not receive IV
alteplase or thrombectomy, treatment of hypertension in the first 48-72 hours after an MS does not change the outcome.

Although we infused the dose of
alteplase over 2 hours as per the manufacturer's recommendation [30], others have recommended a more rapid infusion strategy (e.g., a 50 mg bolus injection of
alteplase with an option for a repeat bolus 15 minutes later or an accelerated regimen of 0,6 mg alteplase/kg over 15 minutes) [31, 32].
