Identifying Posterior Circulation Candidates for Thrombectomy Using Perfusion Imaging
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine if cerebral perfusion imaging can identify a subset of patients who are most likely to have a favorable outcome after thrombectomy treatment. We hypothesize that patients with a favorable Critical Area Perfusion Score (CAPS≤3) on cerebral perfusion imaging will have a favorable response to revascularization by thrombectomy and that patients with a CAPS>3 will not.
