Abstract
Results: In all patients, a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score of 2B or higher was achieved. Eight patients (53%) showed a TICI score of 3. An improvement of the NIHSS score after 24 hours was achieved in 13 patients (87%), but three patients (20%) showed an mRS score of 0–2 on discharge. The mortality rate was 0% (n = 0). There was a correlation between a high signal intensity of the brain stem on MRI Diffusion Weighted Image (DWI) and the outcome.
