The role of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke upon clinical complications and outcomes

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a common neurological complication after ischemic stroke.

We aimed to analyze the relationship between HT, clinical complications and outcomes in patients not submitted to reperfusion therapies (RT).
