Association of pre-mechanical thrombectomy collateral scores with functional outcomes in the early versus extended window for thrombectomy

Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that while several collateral grades are helpful to predict outcomes in patients presenting in the early window, none of the pre-MT collateral scores were associated with outcomes in patients who presented in the extended window for MT. Thus, the current strategy of using perfusion imaging for the selection of patients for MT in the extended window should continue.PMID:36397726 | DOI:10.1177/15910199221138157
