Safety and Efficacy of Thrombolysis in Telestroke for the Extended Time Window (P1.276)

Conclusions:There was no significant difference in sICH or mRS for patients who received thrombolysis through telestroke before 3 hours compared to those that received it in 3 to 4.5 hours. This data suggests that it is safe and efficacious to give IV tPA with telemedicine from 3 to 4.5 hours.Disclosure: Dr. Steinberg has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kenmuir has nothing to disclose.
