O10/94 Ghost infarct core phenomenon after thrombectomy is associated with higher core lesion volume and degree of reperfusion

ConclusionOverestimation of the ischemic core occurred more often in patients presenting with large ICV and was associated with better functional outcomes. Although higher core volumes were associated with worse outcomes, timely vessel recanalization may result in significant treatment effects in this subgroup of patients. Large ICVs should not implicitly exclude patients from MT.Abstract O10/94 Figure 1Abstract O10/94 Figure 2Disclosure of InterestNA.
