Angiographic collateral status predicts functional outcome and early neurological deterioration in large-vessel occlusion stroke treated with endovascular therapy
DSA-assessed collateral status is a strong independent predictor of 90-day functional outcome, END, and mortality in AIS patients following EVT. Robust pretreatment collaterals are associated with markedly improved recovery and survival, highlighting the critical prognostic value of collateral assessment in guiding treatment and patient management.
