Tenecteplase is being increasingly used to treat adult patients with acute arterial ischemic stroke, but data on its use are limited in children. In this webinar, Dr. Sun will review the current literature on tenetcteplase for the treatment of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke. She will focus on a recent multicenter safety surveillance study published in Neurology and discuss future efforts to gather data on the safety and efficacy of tenecteplase for pediatric stroke.
