In patients with DWI-ASPECTS ≤5, two-thirds of patients experienced good neurological outcome when recanalized by state-of-the-art thrombectomy, whilst only one in 14 non-recanalizers achieved similar outcomes. Pretreatment markers of good neurological outcomes were DWI-ASPECTS >2, intravenous thrombolysis and glycaemia ≤6.8 mmol/l.
