A prospective cohort study involving 113 patients revealed that short-duration IA-CSI combined with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) significantly reduced final infarct volume ( p = 0.038), though 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale, mRS 0–2) only showed a trend toward improvement (51.1% vs. 41.2%, p = 0.192) [ 10 ].
