ADAMTS13 activity is associated with early neurological improvement in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis
Although intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with recombinant tissue-plasminogen-activator represents a highly effective treatment in acute ischemic stroke patients, not every patient benefits. We hypothesized that...
