Background And Purpose:
Thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy have been proven effective in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Due to the narrow time window, the number of patients suitable for these treatments is low. The main limitation is the pre-hospital stage, few people call an ambulance in time.

We aimed to determine whether failed versus successful thrombolytic therapy (TT) resulted in SIIS-associated changes in peripheral granulocyte markers at 1 week following the insult.
Methods: We collected peripheral blood samples from 19 patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing TT within 6 h after the onset of their first symptoms and 7 days after the insult.
