Giving Thrombolysis Late — Before Transfer for Thrombectomy — May Improve Outcomes in AIS-LVO: Evidence from a 20-Center French Cohort

By MedXY 12/09/2025

A multicenter retrospective cohort found that IV thrombolysis started beyond 4.5 hours and before interhospital transfer for EVT was associated with higher rates of spontaneous recanalization during transfer and better 3‑month functional outcomes without increased hemorrhage.
