Popis:	Most studies evaluating the usefulness of intravenous thrombolysisfor acute stroke have excluded subjects aged over 80 years. Therefore there is no evidence tosupport or contraindicate this therapy in this age group. We report a 93 year-old femalesubjected to intravenous thrombolysis using tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA), according tothe National Institute of Neurological Disorders protocol. The treatment was successful, therewere no hemorrhagic complications and three months later, the patient was practically withoutany disability. Therefore age is not an absolute contraindication for intravenous thrombolysisin elderly subjects (Rev Med Chile 2008; 136: 502-6).(
