Introduction:Tenecteplase (TNK) is increasingly being utilized for IV thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke, including for patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) prior to transfer to an endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) capable center (TCC). The primary outcome was a favorable 90-day mRS of 0-2. TNK vs. 48.4% no TNK, p=0.35).
