Infarct Core Expansion on Computed Tomography before and after Intravenous Thrombolysis.

CONCLUSION: Among patients who were considered for IAT after IV t-PA treatment, one out of every seven patients exhibited marked expansion of infarct core on follow-up CT before IAT. These patients tend to have poor collaterals and poor outcomes despite rescue IAT. PMID: 29436201 [PubMed - in process]
