Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not recommended for acute stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and a large volume of irreversibly injured tissue (“core”). Perfusion imaging may identify a subset of patients with large core who benefit from MT.
Methods
We compared two cohorts of LVO‐related patients with large core (>50 ml on diffusion‐weighted‐imaging or CT‐perfusion using RAPID),...

After centuries of nihilism and decades of failed neuroprotection trials, the discovery, initially in non‐human primates and subsequently in man, that ischaemic brain tissue termed the ischaemic penumbra can be salvaged from infarction up to and perhaps beyond 24 h after stroke...
