Would you reverse a patient with an INR of >1.7 who is on coumadin for afib that comes in with an NIHSS of 7 and is within the 3 hour window with otherwise no other contraindications for IV tpa? Do you give this patient FFP to try to get their INR in a more favorable range so that you can administer IV tPA or do you just exclude them from IV tPA since the INR is elevated?
Thanks,
