Pretreatment CTP Collateral Parameters Predict Good Outcomes in Successfully Recanalized Middle Cerebral Artery Distal Medium Vessel Occlusions

ConclusionA  CBV index ≥ 0.7 may be independently associated with good clinical outcomes in our cohort of AIS caused by MCA-DMVOs that were successfully treated with MT. Furthermore, a HIR <  0.3 is also associated with good clinical outcomes. This is the first study of which we are aware to identify a CBV index threshold for MCA-DMVOs.
