Background: Current stroke guidelines recommend IV alteplase for patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting within 4.5hrs of symptom onset based on the NINDS and ECASS III publications. Both NINDS and ECASS III excluded patients with mild stroke symptoms but failed to clearly define a threshold for mild stroke. Many patients, however, will have minor strokes (defined as an NIHSS score ≤5).
