Abstract
Cerebral small vessel disease refers to a series of clinical, imaging and pathological syndromes caused by various diseases affecting small arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and venules in the brain, thereby causing ischemia or hemorrhage in brain tissue. At present, intravenous thrombolytic therapy is the first choice for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, however a large number of studies have shown that the presence of cerebral small vessel disease before acute ischemic stroke increases the risk of intravenous thrombolysis. In this article, the recent research progresses about the relationship between cerebral small vessel disease and hemorrhagic transformation after venous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke are reviewed, aiming to provide a new reference for clinical intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Key words: Cerebral small vessel disease; Stroke; Intravenous thrombolysis; Hemorrhagic transformation
