a nonsignificant trendp = 0.111
only shows a nonsignificant trend to predict MCA M1 recanalization after thrombectomy (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.111 in the whole cohort, p = 0.093 in the MERCI cohort) (Table 4 ); whereas the collateral grading alone, performed later during angiography, is able to accurately discriminate recanalizers from nonrecanalizers.
