BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Controversy exists about the role of perfusion imaging in
patient selection for endovascular reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke. We …

Background Traditional treatment in acute ischemic stroke is based on time criteria when
administering intravenous and intra-arterial therapies. However, recent evidence suggests …

Background The treatment of acute ischemic stroke is traditionally centered on time criteria,
although recent evidence suggests that physiologic neuroimaging may be useful. In a …

Background: Studies have shown a lack of agreement of computed tomography perfusion
(CTP) in the selection of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients for endovascular treatment …

Background: Advanced modality imaging with CT perfusion (CTP) is frequently employed to
optimize patient selection for endovascular reperfusion treatment in stroke. Although …

Background Variability in imaging protocols and techniques has resulted in a lack of
consensus regarding the incorporation of perfusion imaging into stroke triage and treatment …

Purpose Advanced neuroimaging techniques may improve patient selection for
endovascular stroke treatment but may also delay time to reperfusion. We studied the effect …

Intravenous and intraarterial recombinant tissue plasminogen activator remains
underutilized in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, largely due to strict adherence to the …

Background The PerfusiOn imaging Selection of Ischemic sTroke patIents for endoVascular
thErapy (POSITIVE) trial was designed to evaluate functional outcome in patients with …

Introduction Outcome after stroke intervention remains disappointing, with only 30–50% of
patients having a good outcome at 90 days. We sought to identify important outcome …
