Intravenous Thrombolysis in Stroke Attributable to Cervical Artery Dissection Stroke 40:37772-3776, Engelter,S.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract IVT-treated patients with CAD do not recover as well as IVT-treated non-CAD patients. However, intracranial bleedings and recurrent ischemic strokes were equally frequent in both groups. They do not account for different outcomes and indicate that IVT should not be excluded in patients who may have CAD. Hemodynamic compromise or frequent tandem occlusions might explain the less favorable outcome of patients with CAD.
