Brief description/objective

To date, there is limited data on intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion. We aimed to evaluate recanalization, outcome and quality of life in patients who undergo thrombolysis for isolated PCA occlusion.
