Conversely, a worsening of ACVS is anticipated to be associated with unfavourable neurological and radiological outcomes.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p> <p>Asymmetrical Cortical Vein Signs (ACVS) can serve as a valuable predictor of neurological and radiological outcomes in patients with large and distal vessel occlusion after reperfusion therapy</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> ACVS (The Asymmetrical cortical vein sign), Ischemic penumbra , Large vessel occlusion (LVO), Distal vessel occlusion (DVO)</p> Azlin Tasnim Che Othman, Ezamin Abdul Rahim, Mohd Fandi Al Khafiz Kamis Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://theinterventionalists.com/index.php/journal/article/view/72 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000
