Several studies have consistently demonstrated the capability of ultrasound to enhance the lysis of intra-arterial thrombi in acute ischemic stroke during systemic intravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasimogen activator (tPA), an intervention also called sonothrombolysis. Objectives1. To quantify the potential benefits of sonothrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.2. To quantify the potential harms of sonothrombolysis. Types of StudiesRandomized controlled trials with clear allocation concealment. Types of ParticipantsPatients admitted to hospital with acute ischemic stroke. Types of InterventionsSonothrombolysis versus intravenous tPA therapy alone or …
