The rationale for recanalization therapy in acute ischemic stroke is to preserve brain through penumbral salvage and thus improve clinical outcomes. We sought to determine the relationship between recanalization, clinical outcomes, and final infarct volumes in acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with middle cerebral artery occlusion who underwent endovascular therapy and post-procedure magnetic resonance imaging.
