Figure 1

Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging 13 hours after stroke onset with a small diffusion lesion in the left basal ganglia and corona radiata with a complete perfusion deficit of the left MCA territory (a, b). Persistent occlusion of the MCA on magnetic resonance angiography ((c), red arrow) and susceptibility weighted imaging ((d), red arrow). T2 weighted imaging 24 hours after the intervention showing a small left sided basal ganglia infarction (e, f).
