Values are mean (SD), median (IQR), or (%) as appropriate. NIHSS: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, mRS: modified Rankin Score, ASPECT; Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score for MCA territory stroke, and ICH: intracerebral hemorrhage. A two-sided value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. NS: not significant. *Patients who achieved successful recanalization were included in the analysis.
