In this large RCT-derived population, participants with brain atrophy, as visually assessed on acute NCCT-imaging, showed less favorable stroke recovery after EVT and worse 90-day functional outcomes compared to participants without brain atrophy. This may support physicians with recovery expectations when planning post-EVT care with patients and their families.
