About this trial
Our study aims to measure metabolic and functional parameters of the infarcted territory by multimodal cerebral MRI in patients diagnosed with unilateral proximal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and treated by thrombectomy in order to correlate those parameters to clinical outcome (evaluated by modified Rankin score) at 3 months.
We aim to find early radiologic predictive factors for favorable clinical outcome in this population of patients.
