Description
Huan Tang and colleagues ask in 2026 whether one scan timing predicts poor recovery after stroke treatment. The treatment successfully reopens a blocked artery. The timing in question is how long contrast dye takes to reach the large veins of the brain during a final scan. This sad outcome, called futile recanalization, means the vessel is open yet the patient still fares badly at three months. The team studied patients whose front-brain artery blockage was cleared by a catheter procedure.
The vein filling time runs from the first dye arrival in the neck artery to the first showing in the brain's veins. It stands in for how well tiny vessels in the brain are flowing. Statistical models tested whether a slow time flagged patients heading for poor function. Such a sign, read during the procedure itself, could warn teams early and guide closer care after the operation.
