Ultraearly assessed reperfusion status after middle cerebral artery recanalization predicting clinical outcome

ConclusionsUltraearly quantitative assessment of reperfusion status after successful MCA recanalization reveals post‐procedural cortical rTTP as possible independent prognostic value in predicting favorable clinical outcome, even determining a threshold value might be possible. In consequence, focusing stroke therapy on microcirculatory patency could be valuable to improve outcome.
