Podcast # 341: Tenecteplase vs. Alteplase

Author: Rachel Beham, PharmD

Educational Pearls:

  • Tenecteplase is more specific for fibrin and has a longer half-life than alteplase.
  • In setting of ischemic stroke, tenecteplase before thrombectomy was associated with a statistically higher incidence of reperfusion and better functional outcome than alteplase.
