• Endovascular thrombectomy can allow almost 1 in 2 patients with large infarct cores to achieve good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] of 0-3) and 1 in 3 patients to regain functional independence (mRS 0-2) at 3 months. • The extent of FVH score (as reflected by FLAIR vascular hyperintensity [FVH]-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score [ASPECTS] values) is associated with functional outcome at 3 months in this patient group.
