Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, rivaroxaban was noninferior to warfarin for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism and there was no significant between-group difference in the risk of major bleeding, although intracranial and fatal bleeding occurred less frequently in the rivroxaban group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombolysis with Alteplase 3 to 4.5 Hours After Acute Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: As compared with placebo, intravenous alteplase administered between 3 and 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms significantly improved clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke; altePlase was more frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravenous Thrombolysis With Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Acute Hemispheric Stroke: The European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS)

TL;DR: Intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke is effective in improving some functional measures and neurologic outcome in a defined subgroup of stroke patients with moderate to severe neurologic deficit and without extended infarct signs on the initial CT scan, however, the identification of this subgroup is difficult.
