Article Abstract
In four patients with acute basilar artery thrombosis, complete arterial recanalization and good neurologic outcome were achieved with a treatment combining alteplase with tirofiban. In no cases were cerebral or extracerebral hemorrhagic co mplications observed. Combined fibrinolytic agents and glycoprotien IIb/IIIa inhibitors may have high potential in the treatment of acute cerebrovascular thrombosis.
