Background: Intravenous administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke <3 h of symptom onset. Purpose: To determine the impact of the timing and degree of recanalization on clinical outcome after rtPA infusion in patients. Material and Methods: Seventy-five patients with ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory treated with intravenous rtPA within 3 h were studied consecutively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), before, 6 h, and 24 h after thrombolytic therapy was undertaken. Depending on the MRA results acquired 6 h after rtPA infusion, recanalization was graded as: early recanalization (ER), delayed recanalization (DR), and no recanalization (NR). Clinical outcome was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results: Of patients in the ER, DR and NR groups, 71.4% (15/21), 13.3% (2/15), and 30.7% (12/39), respectively, showed dramatic improvement in NIHSS score 7 days after rtPA administration compared with those scores upon hospital admission. The 6-h and 24-h NIHSS scores and 3-month mRS scores of ER patients were significantly lower than those of the other two groups (P < 0.05). The 24-h, 7-d NHISS and mRS scores of DR patients were significantly higher than NR patients (P = 0.001, 0.002, 0.049, respectively). Three patients in the DR group died during follow-up. Conclusion: These data suggest that DR is associated with clinical deterioration. Patients treated with rtPA thrombolysis should be under close observation for 6-24 h. Corresponding treatment should be considered once DR appears.
