In a randomized controlled study (N = 7) that compared IAT to IVT with recombinant tPA for treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke with major vessel inclusion, Sen et al (2009) also found that IAT showed a trend toward a higher recanalization rate (3/3 patients for IAT and 0/4 patients for IVT; P = 0.03) ( Table 2 ) [ 20 ].
