We compared demographics, radiological findings, clinical outcomes, and follow-up results between mismatch and no mismatch groups.Results:Among 73 patients, 20 (27.4%) had DWI-ADC mismatch. Follow-up lesion volumes and functional outcomes were similar; however, the mismatch group showed a slower infarct growth rate (3.8 ml/h vs. 7.5

Background:Hemodynamic evaluation is crucial in assessing stroke risk in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS). The primary outcome was a composite of recurrent ischemic stroke or TIA within the same arterial territory over one year.Results:In the first study, involving 22 patients (median age = 53 years, 81.8%

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. ConclusionPTAS appears to be an effective and safe treatment for ICAD after MT in the posterior circulation both improving likelihood of good outcomes and overall survival.

Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3]. Most neurointerventionalists (91%) diagnose ICAS‐LVO after a continued or recurrent occlusion or by the presence of fixed focal stenosis (FFS) after multiple MT attempts.
