IV Thrombolysis in very severe and severe ischemic stroke
Neurol 85:2098-2106, Mazyam, M.V.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our data show no excess risk of cerebral hemorrhage in patients with NIHSS score <25 compared to score 15-25, suggesting that the European contraindication to IV tissue plasminogen activator treatment at NIHSS levels >25 may be unwarranted. Increased mortality and lower rates of functional independence in patients with NIHSS score >25 are explained by higher stroke severity, impaired consciousness on presentation due to posterior circulation ischemia, and longer treatment delays.
