Popis: About half of acute stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) do not show clinical improvement despite successful recanalization. Early arterial reocclusion (EAR) may be one of the causes that explain this phenomenon. We aimed to analyze the incidence and clinico-radiological correlations of EAR after successful MT. A consecutive series of patients treated with MT between 2010 and 2018 at a single-center included in a prospective registry was retrospectively reviewed. Specific inclusion criteria for the analysis were (1) successful recanalization after MT and (2) availability of pretreatment CT perfusion and follow-up MRI. EAR was evaluated in the follow-up MR angiography. Adjusted regression models were used to analyze the association of EAR with pretreatment variables, infarct growth, final infarct volume, and clinical outcome at 90 days (ordinal distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores). Out of 831 MT performed, 218 (26%) patients fulfilled inclusion criteria, from whom 13 (6%) suffered EAR. In multivariate analysis controlled by confounders, EAR was independently associated with poor clinical outcome (aOR = 3.2, 95%CI = 1.16–9.72, p = 0.039), greater final infarct volume (aOR = 3.8, 95%CI = 1.93–7.49, p
