Abstract

Intravenous thrombolysis reduces disability after acute ischaemic stroke, and efforts to identify new therapeutic agents that can improve outcomes while reducing the risk of haemorrhage are welcomed. Tenecteplase is a genetically modified tissue plasminogen activator that, compared with the standard-of-care alteplase, has higher fibrin specificity, a longer half-life, and reduced systemic coagulopathy. Thus, tenecteplase could potentially be associated with greater recanalisation and lower bleeding risk than alteplase.
