Interactive effect of susceptibility-diffusion mismatch and recanalization status on clinical outcome in large vessel occlusion stroke

Objective: To investigate the interactive effect of susceptibility-diffusion mismatch and recanalization status on clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion.Methods: In this prospective study, consecutive ischemic stroke patients admitted within 24 h from symptom onset underwent emergency multimodal MRI at admission, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA).
