Reasons for Exclusion From Thrombolytic Therapy Following Acute Ischemic Stroke
Neurol 64:719-720, Cocho,D., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Despite evidence for the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke, only 1 to 7% of patients receive this therapy. The authors sought to determine the reasons for exclusion from tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in an acute setting and found avoidable causes in 18% of patients. Improvements in intrahospital coordination would increase the number of patients who might benefit from tPA treatment at the authorsÆ center.
