Case-Based Modules > Case 10 > Stage 1

Sorry! This patient is presenting ≤ 6 hours from her LKN. Therefore, CT perfusion imaging is not indicated. The clinical trials that demonstrated a benefit to thrombectomy in this time window did not utilize CTP to guide treatment decisions. The concern is that you could get data from the CTP that dissuades you from treating the patient, when this isn't how they were managed in these clinical trials.
