Patient's question:
My colleague has been relatively overweight and has high blood pressure and high blood lipids. Yesterday, he suddenly fainted at the conference table and was urgently sent to the hospital. The brain CT diagnosis indicated acute cerebral infarction with indication for intravenous thrombolysis. We don't quite understand the severity of this condition. What does "acute cerebral infarction with indication for intravenous thrombolysis" mean?Doctor's answer:
Acute cerebral infarction is an indication for intravenous thrombolysis. It is generally used in the acute phase within 2 to 3 hours when there is a recurrence of transient cerebral hypoperfusion or thrombus detachment. In clinical diagnosis, thrombolytic therapy can be implemented. During thrombolytic therapy, methods such as intravenous administration or catheter insertion into the artery can be used to completely eliminate the thrombus.
