BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The prevalence of antiplatelet drug resistance among patients who undergo cerebrovascular stent placement is unknown. We aimed to assess the feasibility of monitoring antiplatelet drug effects in a single-center cohort undergoing cerebrovascular stent placement.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Controversy exists about the role of perfusion imaging in patient selection for endovascular reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that perfusion imaging versus noncontrast CT-based selection would be associated with improved functional outcomes at 3 months.
