Preceding Intravenous Thrombolysis Facilitates Endovascular Mechanical Recanalization in Large Intracranial Artery Occlusion

Abstract

Our findings suggest that preceding intravenous thrombolysis may reduce the intervention time in patients treated by endovascular mechanical recanalization. However, due to the retrospective design of our study, these findings have to be interpreted with caution and need confirmation in a larger patient population.
