Negative Diffusion-Weighted Imaging After Intravenous Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator is Rare and Unlikely to Indicate Averted Infarction
Stroke 44-1629-1634, Freeman, J.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Averted infarction after IV tPA is rare, occurring in 0.9% of patients with pretreatment positive DWI evidence of acute ischemia. For IV tPA-treated patients who have a negative DWI on follow-up imaging, a cause other than acute stroke should be explored.
