Contrast Enhancement and Contrast Extravasation on Computed Tomography After Intra-Arterial Thrombolysis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 35:876-881, Yoon,W.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Contrast enhancement on CT scans obtained after intra-arterial thrombolysis is usually not associated with hemorrhagic complications. However, contrast extravasation is highly associated with parenchymatous hematoma and should be considered a negative prognostic sign.
