Association between intraprocedural drops in blood pressure and infarct growth rate patterns after acute large-vessel occlusions.

After an LVO-AIS, the IGR can be differentiated into two distinct exponential and non-exponential patterns. A subgroup of patients with the exponential pattern experienced clinically meaningful infarct growth rates between CTP acquisition and reperfusion and seem to be highly vulnerable to episodes of sustained intraprocedural BP drops during EVT.
