Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage after thrombolysis with adjuvant anticoagulation in basilar artery occlusion

ConclusionsThe risk of sICH was largely determined by extension of ischaemic changes on admission computed tomography. Clinically relevantly, also higher post‐thrombolytic SBP as described earlier and lower perithrombolytic platelet counts do increase the risk, a finding requiring confirmation in other patient series.
