Systemic administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) remains the fastest way to initiate treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The presence of a proximal arterial occlusion should not be viewed as an insurmountable predictor of tPA failure. Because tPA works by induction of partial recanalization of large thrombi, early augmentation of fibrinolysis to improve recanalization is desirable. This augmentation is feasible and can be safely achieved at the bedside with diagnostic Doppler ultrasound. In the CLOTBUST trial, 83% of patients achieved any recanalization (46% complete, 27% partial) with tPA + transcranial Doppler vs 50% (17% complete, 33% partial) with tPA alone within 2 hours of treatment (P
