Background: There are scarce data on long-term outcome of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) with Unruptured
Intracranial Aneurysms (UIAs) treated with Intravenous Thrombolysis (IVT). We studied the clinical characteristics

Methods: We analyzed data from a hospital-basedregistry. The standardized diagnostic work-up included:
