CT-based Higher Thrombus Density is associated with Secondary Embolism during Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Preliminary Observation

This study addresses a potential relationship between thrombus density on preinterventional computed tomography (CT) and the occurrence of SE. Methods: We reviewed anterior circulation AIS patients who underwent MT from July 2015 to January 2019 in our center. Thrombus density was measured in Hounsfield Units (HU) on 1-mm and 5-mm preinterventional nonenhanced CT (NECT).
