ABSTRACT
Alteplase is the main pharmacological treatment available for intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Endovascular treatment alone or add-on to intravenous thrombolysis is a valid approach in acute ischemic stroke with cerebral large vessel disease. The most common serious adverse reaction related to alteplase is the development of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and the presence of cerebral small vessel disease may increase this risk, particularly in cocaine users, even if only few data have been published on this topic. Here we reviewed in cocaine users with acute ischemic stroke the efficacy and safety of thrombolytic therapy.
