Abstract
We studied the attitudes of 238 Texas neurologists regarding the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). The results show that 38 (16%) had treated stroke patients with rt-PA, and 97% of these would do so again. In the group that had not treated patients, 60% would treat if a suitable candidate presented. We conclude that soon after FDA approval of rt-PA, two-thirds of survey respondents were using or were planning to use this therapy. Those neurologists who have used rt-PA for stroke report a positive experience.
