Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy are the most efficient treatments for acute ischemic stroke patients in time window. However, sufficient recanalization (mTICI2b-3) can 't be acquired in all patients under thrombectomy. The EXTEND-IA TNK study indicated that tenecteplase before thrombectomy was associated with a higher incidence of reperfusion and better functional outcome than alteplase among patients with ischemic stroke treated within 4.5 hours after symptom onset. This study intends to explore whether a combination of thrombectomy and intra-arterial TNK administration can increase recanalization rate after the first attempt of thrombectomy device pass for ischemic Stroke.

intra-arterial tenecteplase administration

Intra-arterial administration of 4mg tenecteplase is given after microcatheter navigation through the clot. Intra-arterial administration of tenecteplase (0.4 mg/min) continuously is given after the first attempt of thrombectomy device pass for 30 minutes, and then followed by DSA
