Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is an effective treatment. Geographical barriers and lack of specialists limit its application. Telemedicine can overcome some of these pitfalls. Aim: To describe the implementation and results of AIS treatment by telemedicine at the TeleStroke Unit (TeleACV) of the Southern Metropolitan Health Service, connected with seven hospitals in Chile. Material and Methods: Descriptive analysis of a prospective tele-thrombolysis data-base that covers from 2016 to 2018, with an emphasis in the last year. Results: During the analyzed period, seven remote telemedicine centers were activated as far as 830 kilometers on a continental level from the reference center and up to 3,700 kilometers on an island level. There were 1,024 telemedicine consultations, 144 (14%) of them resulted in an IVT treatment. During 2018, 597 tele-consultations were made, thrombolysis was done in 115 (19%) patients aged 66+-13 years; 54 (46.6%) being female. The median admission National Institute of Health Stroke Scale was 8 (interquartile range (IQR) 5-14). The median door-to-needle time was 56.5 (IQR 44.8-73.3) minutes; 60% of patients were treated within 60 minutes. Eight patients (7%) were referred for a subsequent mechanical thrombectomy to a center of greater complexity. Symptomatic intra-cranial hemorrhages occurred in four treated patients (4%). One patient had a systemic bleeding. Conclusions: The Telestroke Unit achieved a high rate of IVT and good door-to-needle times. This may help to overcome some of the geographic barriers and the specialist availability gap in our country.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.147 n.9 20192019-09-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872019000901107es10.4067/s0034-98872019000901107
