Unequal Efficacy of Different Infarct Location in Predicting Futile Recanalization of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion, while futile recanalization is the main factor influencing the prognosis. The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of different infarct sites in predicting futile recanalization of patients with AIS.

Methods

Data were obtained from two multicenter, prospective, randomized, and controlled trials, which were concurrently conducted in China. Cases achieving a successful recanalization and with complete data of preoperative Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) and 90-day follow-up were included. The ASPECTS subregions were used to mark different infarct locations in the two cerebral hemispheres. First, the distribution of each
