BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Data on adjunctive intra-arterial thrombolysis during
mechanical thrombectomy for refractory thrombus are sparse. The aim of this study was to …

Importance Achieving complete reperfusion is a key determinant of good outcome in
patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT). However, data on treatments geared …

Background: We compared the clinical outcomes of low and standard dose recombinant
tissue Plasminogen Activator (rtPA) treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients …

Mechanical thrombectomy is a highly effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by
large-vessel occlusion in the anterior cerebral circulation, significantly increasing the …

Background and Purpose—Although current guidelines advocate pretreatment with
intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in all eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke with large …

Background Whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT)
provides additional benefits remains controversial. We aimed to compare clinical and …

Background Randomized trials have recently evaluated the non-inferiority of direct
thrombectomy versus intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) followed by endovascular therapy in …

Objective: We investigated whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) affected the outcomes
and complications of mechanical thrombectomy (MT), specifically focusing on thrombus …

Background and Purpose: In patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion,
the role of intra-arterial adjunctive medications (IAMs), such as urokinase, tPA (tissue-type …

Background and Purpose: A recent randomized controlled trial DIRECT-MT (Direct Intra-
Arterial Thrombectomy to Revascularize AIS Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Efficiently …
