Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether super-selective intra-arterial
administration of verapamil immediately following successful intra-arterial thrombolysis is
safe as a potential neuroprotective agent. Standard procedures are cerebral angiography and
intra-arterial thrombolysis (intra-arterial administration of tPA and/or mechanical
thrombectomy). Experimental procedure is superselective injection of verapamil
intra-arterially.
