Intravenous Thrombolysis Increases the Rate of Dramatic Recovery in Patients with Acute Stroke with an Unknown Onset Time and Negative FLAIR MRI

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The safety and feasibility of intravenous thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) were retrospectively compared between patients with unknown onset time and no ischemia on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (negative FLAIR) and patients receiving standard therapy.
