In our population of minor strokes with iICAO, although END rate at 7 days and 3-month outcome were similar between the 2 groups, END-particularly END due to artery-to-artery embolism-occurred earlier following IVT. Prospective studies are warranted to further clarify the benefit/risk profile of IVT in this population.
