Tandem Internal Carotid Artery/Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion: An Independent Predictor of Poor Outcome After Systemic Thrombolysis
Stroke 37:2301-2305, Rubiera,M.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
TIM occlusion independently predicts poor outcome after IV thrombolysis. However, its impact varies depending on the location of MCA clot. Therefore, emergent carotid ultrasound plus TCD examinations may improve the selection of patients for more aggressive reperfusion strategies.
