Internal Carotid Artery Tortuosity: an Incremental Predictor of Poor Functional Outcome After Mechanical Thrombectomy.
BACKGROUND Preoperative prognostic prediction for patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) remains suboptimal. Several studies have explored the association between internal carotid artery (ICA) tortuosity and post-MT functional outcomes with inconsistent results, and whether ICA tortuosity provides incremental...
