Determinants of Early Outcomes in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Proximal Artery Occlusion (S02.005)

CONCLUSIONS: In acute ischemic stroke patients thought LTB from IAT, IV tPA independently predicted favorable early post-stroke outcomes. These data reinforce the recommendation to provide early, rapid IV tPA to all eligible patients. Further studies are warranted to explore the lack of IAT effect seen in this study, which may be due to small sample size, residual confounding, or interaction between the IV tPA and IAT.Disclosure: Dr. Labuzetta has nothing to disclose.
