Figure Lengend Snippet: Basic demographic, clinical, and interventional data as well as volume of infarction, incidence of peripheral emboli, and MD index of the non-BGC and BGC groups, subdivided into PROTECT and PROTECT PLUS (see manuscript for technical explanations). Results of group comparisons between non-BGC and BGC groups: “*” indicates statistically significant results on the 5% level (Mann-Whitney U test or chi-squared statistic). mTICI , modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction; NIHSS , National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; mRS , modified Rankin Scale
Article Snippet: To identify the tissue at risk (penumbra) in the acute stage immediately before mechanical recanalization, CT perfusion imaging was acquired and post-processed by the fully automated software RAPID (iSchemaView Inc.).
