Association of plasma VEGF with futile recanalization and intracranial angiogenesis in ischemic stroke post-endovascular treatment

This study aimed to compare baseline and subsequent vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in predicting futile recanalization (FR) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT), and to explore the association between angiogenesis and VEGF.
