This study aims to investigate the association of thrombus characteristics with complete recanalization in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) patients undergoing endovascular treatment using Magnetic Resonance Black-blood Thrombus Imaging (MRBTI). There was more detection of isointense clot sign (ICS) in complete recanalization group than partial recanalization group. Logistic regression analysis showed that ICS was associated with complete recanalization, which means ICS on MRBTI can be a predictor of complete recanalization in CVST patients having endovascular treatment. So, we think that MRBTI will improve efficacy of endovascular therapy and help eliminate adverse outcomes.
