Our retrospective analysis shows that in patients who underwent revascularization treatments for ischemic stroke TMT is as an independent predictor of survival easily obtainable from the baseline CT scan. Further investigation is required to confirm the role of sarcopenia assessment and TMT measurement in the prognostication toolkit of this disease.
