Thrombolysis in lacunar stroke: Comparison of early neurological improvement and 90-day functional outcome with cardioembolic stroke without large-vessel occlusion
We report the first analysis of short- and long-term outcomes of IVT in LAC, using a homogenous control group of CE patients without LVO. The prevalence of ENI and 90-day functional outcomes were similar. However, LAC patients had unfavourable odds of achieving good functional outcomes compared to the control group. Therefore, we emphasise that LAC should not be considered a minor stroke subtype.
