Background and Purpose—Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) devices have led to improved
reperfusion and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with emergent large …

Background Intra-arterial alteplase (IA tPA) is commonly used during mechanical
thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in patients with large-vessel occlusion, but specific …

Background and Purpose—The safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in patients
with acute ischemic stroke has been demonstrated. However, the impact of stent retriever …

Introduction Intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator (IA-tPA) has been widely used in
conjunction with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) or as rescue therapy. Data on the safety of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intravenous thrombolysis with rtPA is the standard of care
for patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours after symptom onset. However, a …
