  • IMS III data are only for those patients in whom CT angiography demonstrated occlusion12

  • *Percentages have been rounded for purposes of display.

  • †mRS scores are raw data derived from supplementary materials (unadjusted). The two endovascular and two standard care arms were pooled into either IA or medical treatment (regardless of penumbral profile).
