Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Burden and Futile Reperfusion after Endovascular Treatment for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Conclusions: We demonstrated that cerebral SVD assessed with baseline brain MRI is associated with the futility of successful recanalization after EVT and any hemorrhagic transformation but not with early stroke progression or recurrence. Nevertheless, our findings do not justify withholding EVT in otherwise eligible patients with AIS based on the presence of severe SVD.Cerebrovasc Dis
