2622 Stroke September 2017 cerebral edema and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, which defines a malignant profile. 27 Because such patients have lowest rates of favorable outcomes, they are thought to respond poorly to reperfusion. 27 However, when compared with standard medical therapy alone, the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy has not been entirely ruled out in ultrafast progressors of LVO stroke who present with large infarcts and are treated early after symptom onset. 28 Nonetheless, this subgroup of patients remains largely excluded from acute endovascular treatment because of the previously held belief that reperfusion is detrimental in this circumstance because of increased incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and malignant edema. On the other end, the incidence of slow progressors may be≤ 30% of patients with anterior circulation LVO in large referral centers. 17 Because slow progressors have been reported to still derive substantial benefit from endovascular reperfusion well after 8 hours after stroke onset with a reasonable safety profile, 29 randomized clinical trials to test this hypothesis have become a priority for the field. 30 Recently, completed and ongoing trials are testing the benefit of endovascular therapy in patients who may present≤ 24 hours after acute MCA/ICA occlusion (NCT01852201, NCT02142283, and NCT02586415). Preliminary results of DAWN (DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical Mismatch in the Triage of Wake Up and Late Presenting Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo) have shown clinical benefit of delayed reperfusion in patients with small ischemic cores. This reinforces the concept that slow progressors who do not reperfuse will eventually also have poor outcomes as fast progressors. The findings of this study await publication in peer-reviewed journals. However, the underlying pathophysiology of fast and slow progressors of infarction because of acute LVO is not completely understood.
