TL;DR: Target mismatch patients who had early reperfusion after endovascular stroke treatment had more favourable clinical outcomes and a randomised controlled trial of endov vascular treatment for patients with the target mismatch profile is warranted.

TL;DR: Baseline DWI and early follow-up PWI (Tmax >6 seconds) volumes provide a reasonable approximation of final infarct volume after endovascular therapy.

TL;DR: Early DWI reversal occurred in about one third of patients after endovascular therapy; however, reversal was often transient and was not associated with a significant volume of tissue salvage or favorable clinical outcome.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the degree of variability in the rate of early DWI expansion in acute stroke patients and found that a slower rate of DWI growth is associated with a greater degree of penumbral salvage and improved clinical outcomes following endovascular reperfusion.

TL;DR: The degree of reperfusions documented on perfusion-weighted imaging after reperfusion therapies corresponds closely with clinical outcomes in TMM patients, and a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified 90% as the optimal reperFusion threshold for predicting good functional outcomes.
