Successful reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) correlates with good outcome. However, radiographic reperfusion does not always translate into good clinical outcomes even if the reperfusion occurs early after the stroke onset. Reasons for neurological worsening (NW) are thought to be many, such as progression of the stroke, hemorrhagic conversion post tissue plasminogen activator and/or EVT, and procedural complications such as vessel dissection or perforation, distal emboli, and re-occlusion. Data on patients worsening in the acute phase after EVT are limited.
