Abstract
The use of thrombolytic agents in the setting of established cerebral infarction is limited by concerns for hemorrhagic transformation. Novel thrombolytic approaches, which have received minimal consideration, may be associated with lower risks of hemorrhage. We illustrate vertebrobasilar thrombolysis with intravenous tirofiban, a selective platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, and discuss the potential thrombolytic properties of this class of antithrombotics.Entities:
