Factors associated with decreasing diffusion-weighted imaging-positive area volume after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with large early ischemic changes

CONCLUSIONS: The mean ADC level before-MT correlated with the after/before-MT DWI-positive area-volume ratio. A mean pretreatment ADC cutoff level of 649 × 106 mm2/s predicted a decreased DWI-positive area after MT.PMID:38576326 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241245279
