  1. mRS, modified Rankin scale; SICH, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage; ENT, Emboliazation to new territories.
  2. ENT was defined as:
  3. New ischemic lesion(s) on post-procedure DWI/CTP outside the initial infarct core.
  4. Upon review by the neurologists, angiography revealed evidence of a new distal branch occlusion.
