Thrombus density predicts successful recanalization with Solitaire stent retriever thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke

Conclusions In acute stroke treated with Solitaire stent retriever thrombectomy, higher thrombus HU values are predictive of successful recanalization. Such information can be used in decision making when estimating recanalization success rate with different endovascular treatment approaches.
