Effect of computed tomography vs. computed tomography perfusion on mechanical thrombectomy outcomes within 6 hours.

• The advantage of CT perfusion (CTP) over CT in pre-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) screening has not been proven for patients with a large infarct core. • CTP is not better than plain CT in predicting good outcome following MT within 6 h. • Plain CT is sufficient for selecting patients suitable for MT within 6 h of large artery occlusion.
