Lysis of Intraventricular and Intracerebral Hematomas with Tissue Plasminogen Activator

  • Conference paper
Intracerebral Hemorrhage Hydrocephalus malresorptivus Peripheral Nerves

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 21))

Abstract

Recent experimental studies [2,3, 14] as well as clinical investigations [4, 11, 15, 17] have demonstrated the efficacy of intrathecally administered tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) in lysing subarachnoid hematomas . Encouraged by these results, we performed local fibrinolytic therapy with rtPA in eight patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and three patients with large intracerebral hematomas.
