• Post-treatment DWI ASPECTS correlated significantly with infarction volume. • A post-treatment DWI ASPECTS ≥ 6 best predicts good outcomes for AIS patients after EVT. • Post-treatment DWI ASPECTS has the potential in substituting infarction volume in predicting the clinical outcome of AIS patients.
