Thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2011 Thrombolysis with intravenous alteplase is the primary therapy for acute ischemic stroke, and is approved in most countries. Early administration improves functional outcome though benefit and risk depend on the time elapsed between stroke onset and initiation of treatment. Randomized controlled trials demonstrated benefit from intravenous thrombolysis

Imaging of Acute Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
European Neurology, 2014 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Over 80% of strokes result from ischemic damage to the brain due to an acute reduction in the blood supply. Around 25-35% of strokes present with large vessel occlusion, and the patients in this category often present with severe neurological deficits.
