Thrombolysis is a reperfusion treatment used for appropriately selected patients with acute ischaemic stroke, using thrombolytic medication to help restore blood flow to affected brain tissue. Assessment involves urgent specialist evaluation and brain imaging, with consideration of factors including symptom onset, imaging findings, contraindications and eligibility for other reperfusion treatments such as mechanical thrombectomy. McCollum Consultants provides independent thrombolysis expert witnesses for clinical negligence and other medico-legal matters involving acute stroke care. Depending on the clinical issues and individual expertise, specialist opinion may address eligibility, contraindications, treatment timing, imaging, clinical decision-making, standards of care, complications, causation and prognosis.
