Increased MCA peak systolic velocity was significantly associated with malignant media infarction.
In a cohort of 377 patients, 49 developed malignant media infarction, highlighting the predictive value of MCA-PSV.
Multivariable regression revealed odds ratio of 53.3 for malignant infarction with increased MCA-PSV, indicating a strong predictive marker.
The findings suggest transcranial Doppler could be valuable for assessing individual risk after endovascular thrombectomy.
