Recent data suggest that women obtain greater benefit than men from IV fibrinolysis for acute ischemic stroke. It is unknown whether this gender-thrombolysis advantage extends to those treated with intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis. The authors evaluated the independent effect of gender among ischemic stroke patients treated with IA fibrinolysis and found no differences in short-term clinical and angiographic outcomes between men and women who received IA thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.
