Kimberly WT, et al. - In this study, the association between reperfusion and brain edema was illustrated. Furthermore, the researcher assessed whether brain edema could partially be responsible for worse outcomes in patients with later reperfusion or lower Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score. They found an association of successful reperfusion with reduced measuring midline shift (MLS). Findings identified an additional benefit of reperfusion in relation to edema, along with rescuing ischemic brain tissue at risk for infarction.
