Good Outcome Rate of 35% in IV-tPA-Treated Patients With Computed Tomography Angiography Confirmed Severe Anterior Circulation Occlusive Stroke [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— IV-tPA treatment resulted in significantly better outcomes in patients with severely symptomatic stroke with major anterior circulation occlusions. The 35% good outcome rate was similar to rates found in endovascular therapy trials. Vascular imaging may help in patient selection and stratification for trials of IV-thrombolytic and endovascular therapies.
