Abstract
The logic of thrombolytic therapy includes the two-stage argument that thrombolytic agents recanalize occluded cerebral arteries and early reperfusion is followed by neurological improvement [1]. Intravenous infusion is simple and technically safe, but its efficiency may be low compared with intraarterial infusion because of agent dilution and passive delivery of the drug to the target thrombi through the bloodstream [1,2].
