Late recanalisation beyond 24 hours is associated with worse outcome: an observational study
ConclusionsAbout half of all patients without recanalisation by 24 h after IVT may develop late recanalisation within 1 week, along with higher mRS scores by 3 months. Pre-existing atrial fibrillation is an independent predictor for late recanalisation.Key Points•About half of patients may develop late recanalisation within 1 week.•Pre-existing atrial fibrillation was associated with the occurrence of late recanalisation.•Late recanalisation led to a higher mRS score than no recanalisation.
