Abstract

Understanding of the pharmacology of thrombolytics, anticoagulants, and antiplatelets is critical to performing safe and effective endovascular therapy for acute ischemic therapy. This is a basic review of the clinical pharmacologic data on the anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and fibrinolytic agents most commonly used in the treatment of stroke and in the neurointerventional suite.
