Key Points

To evaluate the predictive value of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) for neurological improvement and functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients post-Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT).
Assessed relative cerebral blood volume and T6max in ischemic stroke patients undergoing MT.
Analyzed correlations between rCBV, T6max, and clinical outcomes.
Monitored early neurological recovery and long-term functional outcomes.
High rCBV significantly predicted early neurological improvement.
T6max provided independent prognostic value when assessed with rCBV.
Combined assessment of rCBV and T6max improved understanding of ischemic tissue fate.

Implication

Observational study finds that high cerebral blood volume predicts recovery in ischemic stroke patients, indicating better outcomes.

Abstract

Relative cerebral blood volume is a robust predictor of both early neurological recovery and long-term functional outcome following MT. Moreover, T6max provides independent prognostic value when assessed in conjunction with rCBV, suggesting that these parameters complement each other. Their combined assessment provides a more comprehensive understanding of ischemic tissue fate, aiding clinical decision-making in patients selected for MT.
