Data are shown as the event number/total number (%), unless otherwise indicated

aThe common OR values were calculated using an ordinal logistic regression model and indicated the odds of improvement of 1 point on the mRS at 90 days

bThe OR values were calculated using a binary logistic regression model

cDefined as mTICI of 2b-3

dDefined as mTICI of 3

eIncluding new territorial embolization, arterial perforation, arterial dissection, vasospasm requiring treatment and in-stent thrombosis
