Abstract TMP33: Recanalization of intracranial vessel occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke and Thrombolysis “Dwell Time”

Stroke Journal

Thrombolysis at the spoke hospital with the patient transferred to the hub for MT is a model known as drip-and-ship. Thrombolysis dwell time was defined as the timefrom administration of thrombolysis to repeat vascular imaging. The mean time from LKN to thrombolysis was 2.2 years (range, 25.1 range, 0 to 34). hours vs 2.7
