Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Vascular Hyperintensity Topography, Novel Imaging Marker for Revascularization in Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

Abstract

Higher FVH-ASPECTS measured outside the DWI lesion is associated with good clinical outcomes in patients undergoing ET. FVH-ASPECTS measured inside the DWI lesion was predictive of hemorrhagic transformation. The FVH pattern, not number, can serve as an imaging selection marker for ET in acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.
