Hounsfield unit value and clot length in the acutely occluded vessel and time required to achieve thrombectomy, complications and outcome

Conclusions We have not found any significant associations between either thrombus length or density and likelihood of recanalization, time to achieve recanalization, intraprocedural complications, postprocedural hemorrhage or functional outcome at 90 days. These results do not support a predictive value for thrombus quantification in the evaluation of AIS.
