*Among patients who underwent a cerebral angiography only, one periprocedural complication was reported (femoral pseudoaneurysm, in the repeated imaging group).

†Adjusted for: age, previous stroke, NIHSS score, location of occlusion on first CTA, presentation outside office hours.

‡Adjusted for: age, previous stroke, NIHSS score, location of occlusion on first CTA, presentation outside office hours, treatment with intravenous thrombolysis.
