Long-Term Outcome After Intravenous Thrombolysis of Basilar Artery Occlusion
JAMA 292:1862-1866, Lindsberg,P.J.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Intravenous administration of alteplase for patients with BAO appears to be associated with rates of survival, recanalization, and independent functional outcome comparable with those reported with endovascular approaches. These data suggest that a randomized trial is needed to compare these approaches for treatment of BAO.
