    AbstractA 23-year-old woman, who underwent a percutaneous transluminal mitral commissurotomy for a tight mitral stenosis, developed an acute ischemic stroke involving the proximal right middle cerebral artery territory. She had a dense left hemiplegia with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 12. She was emergently treated within 1 hour with intra-arterial tenecteplase and made a dramatic recovery. Intra-arterial tenecteplase is an attractive option for treating acute ischemic stroke with proximal or major vessel occlusion.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
