Events occurred during specified periods after the administration of intravenous t-PA. P values were obtained with the use of the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test. Data for events identified with the use of computed tomography exclude 32 participants for whom a scan was not obtained within 24 hours after initiation of intravenous t-PA or a postbaseline safety scan was not obtained within the defined time window (i.e., participants who died, had care withdrawn at the request of the family, or underwent imaging after the 30-hour window).
Parenchymal hematoma type 2 was defined as a dense hematoma involving more than 30% of the infarcted area with substantial space-occupying effect or any hemorrhagic area outside the infarcted area, and type 1 as a hematoma involving 30% or less of the infarcted area.
Complications included groin hematoma, vessel dissection, vessel perforation, and emboli in a previously uninvolved territory, as identified by the site investigator or as assessed centrally.
