Microvascular Dysfunction After Reperfusion Predicts Stroke Infarct Expansion and Poor Outcomes
By MedXY|Oct 4, 2026
In acute ischemic stroke patients with excellent reperfusion, elevated peri-infarct microvascular heterogeneity measured by MRI predicts infarct growth and poor functional recovery, reflecting the no-reflow phenomenon despite restored macro
