Abstract:
Background and Purpose— We report the first case of 2 intravenous thrombolysis treatments within 90 hours in a patient with early recurrent stroke. Summary of Review— A 50-year-old man had improved significantly after intravenous thrombolysis for acute stroke. On the fourth day, he deteriorated dramatically because of recurrent stroke. Evidence of vessel reocclusion and profound perfusion/diffusion mismatch constituted the rationale for a second thrombolysis treatment, which resulted in vessel recanalization and significant neurologic improvement. Conclusion— The pathophysiological information obtained by multimodal magnetic resonance imaging may suit as a brain clock when repeat thrombolysis treatment is considered for early recurrent stroke.
