The association between pretreatment ischemic volume (PIV) measured on diffusion weighted images (DWI) and functional outcome after mechanical thrombectomy is of great clinical importance but has yet to be determined. We analyzed 298 ischemic stroke patients from the multicentric study THRACE. Our results showed that increased PIV was an independent predictor for a lower probability of functional independence, a less favorable degree of disability, and a higher mortality rate. PIV measured on DWI is a valuable early predictor for functional outcome in ischemic stroke patients, and thus can contribute to patient selection for optimal therapeutic intervention.
