The association between recanalization (defined as the occurrence of a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 2b or 3) and outcome was assessed using logistic regression and inverse probability weighting analysis.Intervention: Endovascular treatment.Results: Of 5853 patients, 285 (5%; 146 men [51%]; median age, 73 years [IQR, 62-81 years]) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Of these 285 patients, 79 (27.7%) had an mRS score of 3 or less at day 90. The rate of successful recanalization was 75% (215 of 285) and was independently associated with a higher probability of reaching an mRS score of 3 or less (adjusted odds ratio, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.79-10.72; P < .001). In inverse probability weighting analysis, a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 2b or 3 was associated with a 19% increase (95% CI, 9%-29%; P < .001) in the probability for an mRS score of 3 or more. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested a significant treatment benefit associated with vessel recanalization in a time window of up to 17.6 hours and ASPECTS of 3 to 5. The rate of secondary symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was 6.3% (18 of 285).Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study reflecting daily clinical practice, vessel recanalization for patients with a low ASPECTS and extended time window was associated with better functional outcomes in a time window up to 17.6 hours and ASPECTS of 3 to 5. The results of this study encourage current randomized clinical trials to enroll patients with a low ASPECTS, even within the extended time window.",
