Popis: Background Contrary to anterior circulation stroke, studies on the association between thrombus imaging characteristics and outcomes are scarce in patients with posterior circulation stroke (PCS). We aimed to investigate the association of thrombus imaging characteristics with reperfusion and functional outcome in patients with PCS who underwent endovascular treatment. Methods In patients with PCS included in the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in The Netherlands) Registry, thrombus imaging characteristics (thrombus density and perviousness in Hounsfield Units [HU] and thrombus length in mm) were assessed on thin‐slice imaging (
