3. Fig 2
Restoration of flow after intervention. The figure shows the relationship between success at recanalization and clinical neurologic improvement. (TIMI = Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction; TIMI 3 = normal; TIMI 2 = moderate flow; TIMI 1 = low flow.)

4. Fig 3
Change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores before and after thrombolysis. The diagonal line divides patients into two groups: those who improved and those who were unchanged or worsened. The patients in the bottom half of the line all improved clinically.

5. Fig 4
Clinical outcome and distribution of the occlusion. Patients who had no clinical improvement, all had either involvement of the distal carotid or proximal middle cerebral artery. (ACA = anterior cerebral artery; ICA = internal carotid artery; MCA = middle cerebral artery with superior and inferior divisions.)
