- Cerebral edema risk was analyzed in SELECT2 trial patients with large ischemic core.
- Thrombectomy (EVT) was associated with greater midline shift compared to medical management.
- Edema (midline shift) correlated with early neurological worsening and worse 90-day functional outcomes.
- Edema mediated 10.6% reduction in EVT's functional benefit.
- Study suggests need for individualized edema management despite EVT's overall benefit.
