Abstract
The 2019 year guidelines (American Heart Association / American Stroke Association – AHA/ASA) do not recommend treating recurrent acute ischemic stroke with alteplase in patients who had previ- ous stroke in last 3 months (1,9). According to the European Stroke Organisation`s (ESO) guidelines (year 2021), there is no clear consensus. The risk of reocclusion occurs in 14-34% of patients in whom recanalisation with alteplase has been achieved (1). In this paper we present the case of our 70-year old patient with early stroke recurrence and repeated thrombolytic therapy 9 hours after the first dose of alteplase.
