Intravenous Thrombolysis in Nonagenarians With Ischemic Stroke

See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our study suggests less favorable outcomes in nonagenarians as compared with octogenarians after IVT for ischemic stroke, and it demands a careful selection for treatment, unless randomized controlled trials yield more evidence for IVT in very old stroke patients.
