E-054 Correlation between Thrombus Density and Recanalization or Stroke Etiology in Acute Ischemic Stroke

ConclusionIn conclusion, our study found no relationship between thrombus attenuation and recanalization success or stroke etiology. While prior studies have suggested that higher attenuation is associated with good recanalization, our study could not find such a link.4 More studies are required to identify factors that predict successful recanalization in acute ischemic stroke patients.DisclosuresM.
