Intra-Arterial Alteplase After Successful Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

JAMA·August 20, 2026·PMID 42623045

Why it matters

Residual distal occlusions and microvascular thrombosis after successful thrombectomy may limit functional recovery. If intra-arterial alteplase improves outcomes without excess bleeding, it could refine post-thrombectomy management for stroke neurologists and emergency physicians.
