DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.120.031144
Abstract: Background and Purpose: Ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) could benefit from direct transportation to an intervention center for endovascular treatment, but non-LVO patients need rapid IV thrombolysis in the nearest center. Our… read more here.
