Safety of Mechanical Thrombectomy and Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Results of the Multi Mechanical Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia (MERCI) Trial, Part I AJNR 27:1177-1182, W.S. Smith, for the Multi MERCI Investigators, 2006 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Mechanical thrombectomy after IV tPA seems as safe as mechanical thrombectomy alone. Mechanical thrombectomy with both first- and second-generation Merci devices is efficacious in opening intracranial vessels during acute ischemic stroke in patients who are either ineligible for IV fibrinolytic therapy or have failed IV fibrinolytic therapy.
