Background And Purpose: The Prolyse in Acute Cerebral Thromboembolism II (PROACT II) trial showed improved outcomes in patients with proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions treated with intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis within 6 h of stroke onset. We analyzed outcomes of patients with proximal MCA occlusions treated within 3 h of stroke onset in order to determine the influence of time-to-treatment on clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients receiving IA thrombolysis.
Methods: Thirty-five patients from three academic institutions with angiographically demonstrated proximal MCA occlusions were treated with IA thrombolytics within 3 h of stroke onset.
