Can imaging extend the thrombolytic time window after stroke?

Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 24 June 2019; doi:10.1038/s41582-019-0232-yA new trial has demonstrated the benefits of intravenous thrombolysis, guided by perfusion imaging, 4.5–9.0 h after stroke onset and in individuals with wake-up stroke. In addition to extending the time window for thrombolysis after acute ischaemic stroke, these findings could aid the refinement of imaging and thrombolytic protocols.
