Abstract
Reperfusion is critical for improving outcomes of patients experiencing ischemic stroke. Increasing evidence supports tenecteplase as an alternative to alteplase, with many potential benefits. This article discusses the current state of the evidence for intravenous reperfusion and considers strategies for improving access, including possible modifications to efficacy-related regulatory updates.
