We aimed to investigate the impact of initial low cerebellum perfusion delay on the outcomes of TOB treated with MT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included patients who underwent MT for TOB. Clinical and peri-procedural variables were obtained. Perfusion delay in the low cerebellum was defined as (1) time-to-maximum (Tmax) &amp;gt;10 s lesions or (2) relative time-to-peak (rTTP) map &amp;gt;9.5 s with a diameter of \u22656 mm in the low cerebellum. The good functional outcome was defined as the achievement of a modified Rankin Scale score of 0\u20133 at 3 months after stroke.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 42 included patients, 24 (57.1%) patients showed perfusion delay in the low cerebellum. The admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was significantly higher in those with perfusion delay [17 (12\u201324) vs. 8 (6\u201315), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002]. Accordingly, the proportion of good functional outcomes was lower in those with perfusion delay than in those without [5 (20.8%) vs. 13 (72.2%), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.003]. From the multivariable analysis, the admission NIHSS score [odds ratio (OR) = 0.86, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) = 0.75\u20130.98, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.021] and low cerebellum perfusion delay (OR = 0.18, 95% Cis = 0.04\u20130.86, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.031) were independently associated with the 3-month functional outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that initial perfusion delay proximal to TOB in the low cerebellum might be a predictor for poor
