Infarct growth patterns may vary in acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion and recanalization with endovascular therapy.

• Infarct growth during the acute stage of stroke is highly dynamic and the exact shape remains unknown. • Infarct growth pattern models were developed based on infarct volumes on diffusion-weighted imaging before and after reperfusion. • Infarct growth patterns may not be singular, rather various among individual patients with acute stroke due to LVO and successful treatment with EVT.
