Whether to withhold recanalization treatment when the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion exceeds a given volume is unsettled. Our aim was to assess the impact of recanalization on outcome in patients with baseline DWI lesion ≥70 mL (DWI≥70 mL) treated ≤4.5 hours from onset. We hypothesized that recanalization is beneficial in a sizeable fraction of these patients and that this is associated with a larger DWI lesion reversal.
