Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Following endovascular thrombectomy in patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke, successful recanalization from 1 attempt, known as the first-pass effect, has correlated favorably with long-term outcomes. Pretreatment imaging may contain information that can be used to predict the first-pass effect. Recently, applications of machine learning models have shown promising results in predicting recanalization outcomes, albeit requiring manual segmentation. In this study, we sought to construct completely automated methods using deep learning to predict the first-pass effect from pretreatment CT and MR imaging.
