Abstract

Aim: Thrombolysis has been approved for use in acute stroke where the onset is less than 3hours and the vascular territory involved is one third or less. CT perfusion imaging provides information which may be used to identify matched defects which denote infarct and mismatched defects which denote ischaemic tissue or penumbra. We sought to determine whether the use of CT perfusion would impact on the number of patients thrombolysed and allow for the use of thrombolysis past the recommended time.
