Acute Ischemic Stroke With Mild Symptoms–To Thrombolyse or Not to Thrombolyse?

Management of stroke with minor symptoms may represent a therapeutical dilemma as the hemorrhage risk of acute thrombolytic therapy may eventually outweigh the stroke severity. However, around 30% of patients presenting with minor stroke symptoms are ultimately left with disability. The objective of...
