: The study population differs by only eight patients (in whom PWI quality was not sufficient for CTH analysis) from the cohort in a preceding work by Mundiyanapurath et al [CitationRef removed]. While this preceding work concentrated on the effect of perfusion-diffusion mismatch early or late after symptom onset, we now investigated the role of the perfusion index CTH in regard to the prediction of a favorable outcome and the occurrence of an intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular thrombectomy.
