Early Recanalization After Tenecteplase or Alteplase in Distal and Medium Vessel Occlusion Strokes: An Observational Cohort Study.

Stroke·September 10, 2026·PMID 42717910

Why it matters

Distal and medium vessel occlusions are common but lack clear evidence for optimal thrombolytic choice. This study provides real-world comparative data suggesting tenecteplase may offer better early reperfusion and less infarct growth than alteplase in this population.
