Intra‐arterial thrombolysis vs. standard treatment or intravenous thrombolysis in adults with acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Conclusions This analysis finds a modest benefit of intra‐arterial thrombolysis over standard treatment, although it does not find a clear benefit of intra‐arterial thrombolysis over intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients. However, few trials, small sample sizes, and indirectness limit the strength of evidence.
