A multimodal pharmacological agent in combination with recanalization therapy (thrombolysis and thrombectomy) in severe stroke patients

J Med Life. 2019 Oct-Dec;12(4):466-467. doi: 10.25122/jml-2019-1011.

Abstract

This case report highlights a case of large ischemic stroke and indication for anticoagulant therapy treated with thrombolysis and pharmacological intervention for neurological recovery with a multimodal agent (Cerebrolysin) as add-on therapy to recanalization techniques, including IV thrombolysis. We observed a significant clinical improvement after one year of follow-up. Based on our experience, we can assert that Cerebrolysin can be safely administered in stroke patients, even in complicated cases, with a good chance for improvement of their clinical status.

Keywords: cerebrolysin; neurorecovery; recanalization; stroke.
