Drip, Ship, and Retrieve: Cooperative Recanalization Therapy in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion
Stroke 41:722-726, Pfefferkorn,T., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
�Drip, ship, and retrieve� seems to be feasible and safe in acute basilar artery occlusion. Patients appear to benefit from initiation of intravenous thrombolysis in the community hospital before transfer. Randomized controlled trials will have to confirm the expected benefit of subsequent on-demand mechanical recanalization on clinical outcome.
