Ipsilateral orolingual angioedema following rhTNK-tPA administration for acute ischemic stroke

Recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA), a genetically modified variant of conventional alteplase with longer half-life and higher fibrin specificity, has now emerged as a reasonable choice for thrombolytic treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in China. Orolingual angioedema is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of intravenous thrombolysis. Currently, there is no documented evidence of orolingual angioedema occurring after thrombolysis with rhTNK-tPA. In this report, we present a unique case of a 75-year-old Chinese man who developed ipsilateral orolingual angioedema following the administration of rhTNK-tPA for AIS. Our case emphasizes the need for caution when using rhTNK-tPA due to its potential to induce ipsilateral orolingual angioedema.
