Successful mechanical thrombectomy in stroke with thrombolysis-associated intracerebral hemorrhage —a case report

Intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are the standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a main complication of intravenous thrombolysis, however, no data are available on the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with thrombolysis-associated intracerebral hemorrhage. This constellation is expected to become more frequent as increasing numbers of patients are treated under the drip-and-ship paradigm.
