Pretreatment diffusion-weighted imaging lesion volume predicts favorable outcome after intravenous thrombolysis with tissue-type plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Stroke magnetic resonance imaging with perfusion and diffusion weighting has shown its potential to select patients likely to benefit from intravenous thrombolysis with tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV-tPA). We aimed to determine the predictors of favorable outcome in magnetic resonance imaging-selected, acute stroke patients treated with IV-tPA.
