'Dateline' Features USA Stroke Center 

The USA Stroke Center was featured on April 21, 1998 in a Dateline NBC report about stroke treatment. The program focused on the use of t-PA (Tissue Plasminogen Activator), a clot-busting drug used in the acute treatment of strokes.  The Stroke Center has been administering t-PA to all eligible stroke patients.

"Dateline" interviewed Dr. Richard Zweifler, assistant professor of neurology and director of the USA Stroke Center, and followed the progress of one of his treated patients.

For more information on t-PA and its use for stroke treatment, contact the USA Stroke Center at (334)470-5801.
