Prognostic value of post-treatment fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity in ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy

Editorial comment: Prognostic value of post-treatment fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity in ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy

“…The baseline FVH score showed great potential to predict the prognosis of acute stroke patients [3] and is associated with prognosis in patients with AIS before-treatment EVT [2,4]. In this article published in European Radiology, Xu XQ et al [5] innovatively focused on FVH in AIS patients with LVO post-treatment EVT. Based on a dichotomized FVH status, this study established two combined models (model_1: recanalization + NIHSS pre ; model_2: recanalization + NIHSS pre + post-treatment FVH) to explore the value of FVH in predicting prognosis.…”
