  1. Patient characteristic of subgroups. Successful recanalisation is defined as mTICI 2b or higher. Time data is given in minutes. N number of patients, SD standard deviation, IQR interquartile range, NIHSS National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, mRS modified Rankin Scale, ASPECTS Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score. P-value < 0.05 indicates clinical significance.
