Excellent outcome from tPA treatment was substantially increased in patients with DWI lesions < 18mL (77% versus 18% placebo, OR= 15.0, P < 0.001). Benefit from tPA was also seen with DWI lesions up to 25mL (69% versus 29% placebo, OR= 5.5, P= 0.03), but not for DWI lesions > 25 mL. In contrast, increasing mismatch ratios did not influence the odds of excellent outcome with tPA. Clinical responsiveness to IV-tPA, and stroke outcome, depends more on baseline DWI and PWI lesion volumes than the extent of perfusion–diffusion mismatch.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:03 AEDT ]]>
