Collateral Circulation and BNP in Predicting Outcome of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atherosclerotic versus Cardioembolic Cerebral Large-Vessel Occlusion Who Underwent Endovascular Treatment.

Collateral status and BNP could be used as independent predictors of clinical outcomes in AIS patients and could determine stroke subtypes (CE stroke or LAA stroke). In addition, the model of 4D CTA-CS combined with BNP was the most effective in predicting clinical outcomes compared with collateral status or BNP alone.
