Abstract:Objective: In endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion, occluded vessels are invisible on MRA or DSA. Heavily T2-weighted MRI sequence, which offers good contrast between cerebrospinal fluid and other brain structures, may contribute to resolve this issue. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this sequence in estimating vessel courses including unexpected aneurysms of the portion more distal to the occlusion site in endovascular thrombectomy.
