Official Title: Intra-arterial Thrombolysis After Successful Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusion in the Posterior Circulation (IAT-TOP)
Brief Summary:
The CHOICE study suggested that the use of adjunct intra-arterial alteplase after successful endovascular reperfusion in large vessel occlusion acute ischemic strokes may result in a greater likelihood of excellent neurological outcome at 90 days.However, CHOICE was a phase-2 trial and almost exclusively enrolled anterior circulation occlusions.Therefore, data on the safety and efficacy of post-endovascular reperfusion IAT in posterior circulation stroke is lacking.In general, anterior circulation strokes are…
