Prediction of recanalization in acute stroke patients receiving intravenous and endovascular revascularization therapy

ConclusionThe overall likelihood of recanalization was the highest in the endovascular group, and higher for intravenous thrombolysis compared with no revascularization therapy. However, our statistical models of recanalization for each individual patient indicate significant variability between treatment options, suggesting the need to include this prediction in the personalized treatment selection.
