Prognostic value of post-treatment fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity in ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy

ConclusionsPost-treatment FVH may be an effective prognostic marker associated with clinical outcome in patients with AIS after EVT.Key Points• Post-treatment FVH correlates with incomplete recanalization and higher infarct volume.• Post-treatment FVH is independently associated with an unfavorable outcome.• Post-treatment FVH may provide prognostic information in patients with AIS after EVT.
