Key Points

The aim is to assess the influence of advanced imaging techniques on the selection process for endovascular therapy in late-stage ischemic stroke patients.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies focusing on advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and CT perfusion.
Analyzed their impact on EVT selection in patients presenting during the late window for ischemic stroke.
Advanced imaging techniques significantly improved EVT selection for ischemic stroke patients in the late window.
The use of CT perfusion and MRI facilitated better identification of candidates for intervention, enhancing clinical outcomes.

Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate advanced imaging for EVT selection in ischemic stroke patients, suggesting improved outcomes.

Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate the effects of advanced imaging (MRI and CT perfusion) on EVT selection for patients with ischemic stroke who presented during the late window.
