Improving Prediction of Recanalization in Acute Large Vessel Occlusive Stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: Acute endovascular treatment is the single most important factor promoting recanalization in acute ischemic stroke. Presence of extracranial vessel stenosis or occlusion decreases recanalization rates. In patients with intracranial occlusions, higher NIHSS and ASPECTS and normal vigilance facilitate recanalization. Integration in treatment algorithms could influence recanalization strategies in individual patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
