In a compelling retrospective study Shu, Shadi Yaghi, and colleagues evaluated outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with stroke due to cervical artery dissection.
Their findings reveal that IV thrombolysis significantly improves the odds of discharge to home without an associated increase in the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
These results offer important reassurance regarding the safety and functional benefit of thrombolysis in this unique stroke subtype—potentially reshaping decision-making in acute management.
