Cerebral Blood Flow Thresholds for Tissue Infarction in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated with Intra-Arterial Revascularization Therapy Depend on Timing of Reperfusion

Abstract

CBF thresholds for tissue infarction in patients with acute stroke are lower in tissue that is reperfused at earlier time points. This information may be important in selecting patients who might benefit from reperfusion therapy.
