Infarct Growth despite Endovascular Thrombectomy Recanalization in Large Vessel Occlusive Stroke.

Infarct growth occurred despite adequate reperfusion, disproportionately in the cortex, and independently decreased the odds of good outcome. Infarct growth occurred while patients were hospitalized and may represent a therapeutic target. Potential determinants of region-specific infarct growth were identified that require confirmation in larger studies.
