A Real-world Study of Tenecteplase Versus Alteplase for Thrombolysis in Patients Within 4.5 H of Onset of Ischemic Stroke

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, killing nearly 7 million people every year. Acute ischemic stroke is caused by focal cerebral hypoperfusion, usually due to embolism or atherosclerotic disease . Ischemic strokes account for 60-70% of all strokes worldwide and are severely debilitating, drawing considerable attention due to their high prevalence.The majority of studies comparing the efficacy and safety of teneplase and alteplase are predominantly randomized controlled trials with limited representation from real-world studies.The aim of this study is to compare the safety, efficacy and economic benefits of recombinant human TNK tissue plasminogen activator (tenecteplase, rhTNK-tPA, TNK) and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase, rtPA) in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish a foundation for refining intravenous thrombolytic therapy tailored to various patient profiles and to guide clinicians in selecting the most suitable thrombolytic treatment options.
