Perfusion-Based Selection for Endovascular Reperfusion Therapy in Anterior Circulation Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

In this multicenter study, patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent perfusion imaging were more than 2-fold more likely to have good outcomes following endovascular reperfusion therapy. Randomized studies should compare perfusion imaging with NCCT imaging for patient selection for endovascular reperfusion therapy.
