CTP-Based Tissue Outcome: Promising Tool to Prove the Beneficial Effect of Mechanical Recanalization in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
To prove the tissue-protecting effect of mechanical recanalization, we assessed the CT perfusion-based tissue outcome ("TO") and correlated this imaging parameter with the 3-month clinical outcome ("CO"). ⋯ • %ML as well as the final infarct volume can make a direct point about the immediate effect of successful mechanical recanalization.• The clinical outcomes after mechanical recanalization are reliably predicted by %ML, reflecting the benefit of escalation therapy including interventional reopening of parent vessel occlusions.• Not recanalization but rather reperfusion should be regarded as a surrogate parameter for successful stroke therapy.
