Imaging perfusion deficits, arterial patency and thrombolysis safety and efficacy in acute ischaemic stroke. An observational study of the effect of advanced imaging methods in The Third International Stroke Trial (IST-3), a randomised controlled trial

Imaging perfusion deficits, arterial patency and thrombolysis safety and efficacy in acute ischaemic stroke. An observational study of the effect of advanced imaging methods in The Third International Stroke Trial (IST-3), a randomised controlled trial

Background: Intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) improves outcome after an ischaemic stroke but increases the risk of intracranial haemorrhage. Restricting rt-PA to patients with salvageable tissue, or arterial occlusion, might reduce risk, increase benefit...
