Prolonged Venous Transit on Perfusion Imaging Is Associated with Longer Lengths of Stay in Acute Large Vessel Occlusions

In successfully reperfused large vessel occlusion strokes, PVT+ was associated with an additional 2 days of hospital stay on average compared with PVT- patients, when adjusting for other clinical covariables. This simple, novel imaging metric is robust in correlating with a range of short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
