Description
Author: Rachel Beham, PharmD Educational Pearls: Tenecteplase is more specific for fibrin and has a longer half-life than alteplase. In setting of ischemic stroke, tenecteplase before thrombectomy was associated with a statistically higher incidence of reperfusion and better functional outcome than alteplase. References Bruce C.V.
