Background: Recent studies have shown that tPA can be safely administered past the standard 4.5 h window with good outcomes when selected with multi-model imaging, which is often lacking outside of comprehensive stroke centers.
Aim: We aim to analyze the safety and outcomes of wake up/unknown onset (WUS/UNK) patients treated based on non-contrast head CT (NCCT) at our institution and in the literature.
