Pretreatment lesional volume impacts clinical outcome and thrombectomy efficacy

We aimed to characterize the association between pretreatment lesional volume measured on diffusion‐weighted images and functional outcome, and estimate the impact on thrombectomy efficacy for ischemic stroke with anterior proximal intracranial arterial occlusion.
