Noninvasive Ventilatory Correction as an Adjunct to an Experimental Systemic Reperfusion Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke

<table>(a) Baseline noncontrast CT: a long thromboembolus within the right MCA trunk (arrow). (b) Baseline TCD: flattened systolic flow acceleration (TIBI 2) at a depth of 48 mm, indicating right proximal MCA occlusion. (c) One-hour TCD: improved flow velocities/waveforms (TIBI 2) at a depth of 58 mm suggestive of slow and partial recanalization. (d) Followup CT reveals a small cortical infarction (arrows). (e) 24-hour TCD: normal flow velocities and waveforms (TIBI 5) at a depth of 46 mm.</table>
