Time From Imaging to Endovascular Reperfusion Predicts Outcome in Acute Stroke [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions—Compared with target mismatch patients, those with the malignant profile experience faster infarct growth and a steeper decline in the odds of functional independence, with longer delays between baseline imaging and reperfusion. However, this does not exclude the possibility of treatment benefit in patients with a malignant profile.
