Abstract:OBJECTIVE
The diagnosis of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) associated with large vessel occlusion (LVO) before endovascular treatment (EVT) remains a clinical challenge. This study was aimed at developing a predictive model for ICAS-LVO in the anterior circulation preceding EVT.
METHODS
Patients from two national stroke centers who had undergone EVT for acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation were evaluated. Those from one center served as the derivation cohort, whereas patients from another ce… Show more
