Combined IV and intra-arterial thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke Neurol 64:386-388, Flaherty, M.L., et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Combined IV and intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke may offer advantages over either technique alone. Sixty-two non-randomized patients with NIH Stroke Scale scores of >10 who met standard criteria for IV thrombolysis were treated with an IV/IA approach. Three-month modified Rankin Scale scores were 0 to 2 for 50% of patients, mortality was 18%, and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occurred in 8%. IV/IA thrombolysis appeared safe and effective in this group.
