Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Endovascular Treatment in Posterior Circulation Occlusions: A MR CLEAN Registry Study

Stroke Journal

JANUARY 4, 2024

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:The effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) has been investigated in randomized trials and meta-analyses. These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included.
