Stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy: outcomes of prior use of intravenous thrombolysis

With multiple RCTs demonstrating clear benefit of mechanical thrombectomy in ELVO, the question of best approach to patients eligible for simultaneous treatment with IV TPA and mechanical thrombectomy has been debated. Dr. Hirsch interviews Drs. Leslie-Mazwi and Weber after their instructive papers on this topic.
