Abstract WP106: Timing of Tissue-plasminogen-activator Induced Recanalization and Functional Recovery in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Introduction: Although onset-to-treatment time is associated with early clinical recovery in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the effect of the timing of tPA-induced recanalization on functional outcomes in AIS remains debatable. Methods: We sought to determine whether early (within 1-hour from tPA-bolus) complete or partial recanalization assessed during 2-hour real-time...
