In our retrospective two-site analysis, late endovascular treatment seemed effective in the presence of a clinical-ASPECTS mismatch, but not in its absence. If confirmed in randomized trials, this finding could support the use of an ASPECTS-based selection for late endovascular treatment decisions, obviating the need for advanced imaging.
