Decreased Perihematomal Edema in Thrombolysis-Related Intracerebral Hemorrhage Compared With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

TL;DR: The striking qualitative and quantitative lack of perihematomal edema observed in the thrombolysis-related ICHs compared with the SICHs provides the first substantial, although indirect, human evidence that intrahematomal blood clotting is a plausible pathogenetic factor in hyperacute perielectrical edema formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late myocardial ischemic events after saphenous vein graft intervention--importance of initially "nonsignificant" vein graft lesions.

TL;DR: The low incidence of events from initially treated lesions < 50% suggests that the hypothesis that "nonsignificant" 41% to 50% lesions might best be treated at the time other more severe narrowings are treated should be examined, and a need for increased surveillance in patients with these lesions.

Community hospital administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator in acute myocardial infarction: Improved timing, thrombolytic efficacy and ventricular function

TL;DR: As an investigational fibrinolytic agent for acute myocardial infarction, intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been administered primarily in tertiary care and university centers and the value of early initiation of such therapy was determined.
