A comprehensive analysis of metabolic changes in the salvaged penumbra

Conclusion Decreased glutamate, creatine, and NAA concentrations are associated with poor neurological outcome at 24 h and greater disability at 3 months. The significant metabolic variation in salvaged tissue may potentially explain some of the variability seen in stroke recovery despite apparently successful reperfusion.
