Rescue Thrombolysis for Medium Vessel Occlusion (RESCUE-TNK)
Rescue Thrombolysis for Medium Vessel Occlusion (RESCUE-TNK): a Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Blinded End Point, and Multicenter Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The best reperfusion strategy for medium-sized vessel occlusion (MeVO) is not well established. Given the proven treatment effect of intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), the investigators hypothesized that intra-arterial tenecteplase (TNK) could increase the recanalization rate of MeVO and thus improve clinical outcome. The current study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial TNK in patients with MeVO.

- Patients with contraindication or allergy to any ingredient of study medication;
- The estimated life expectancy is less than 6 months due to other serious diseases;
- Other conditions unsuitable for this clinical study as assessed by researcher.

Other
- Patients with completed infarction in the territory of the MeVO on non-contrast CT;
