Severely impaired patients with persisting intracranial occlusion despite standard treatment with intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) or presenting beyond the therapeutic window for IV rtPA may be candidates for interventional neurothrombectomy (NT). The safety and efficacy of NT by the Penumbra System (PS) were compared with standard IV rtPA treatment in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large intracranial vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.

Abstract
Severely impaired patients with persisting intracranial occlusion despite standard treatment with intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) or presenting beyond the therapeutic window for IV rtPA may be candidates for interventional neurothrombectomy (NT). The safety and efficacy of NT by the Penumbra System (PS) were compared with standard IV rtPA treatment in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large intracranial vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.File in questo prodotto:
