Table 2 Results of middle cerebral artery visualization by cross flow and the balloon test occlusion outcome

MCA visualization		BTO-positive (%)	BTO-negative (%)	Total (%)
Poor	Grade 0	3 (7)	1 (2)	4 (9)
	Grade 1	1 (2)	0 (0)	1 (2)
	Grade 2	1 (2)	3 (7)	4 (9)
Good	Grade 3	0 (0)	12 (29)	12 (29)
	Grade 4	0 (0)	21 (50)	21 (50)
Total		5 (12)	37 (88)	42 (100)

Significant differences (P = 0.0002; 95%CI: 0.07-14.19) was seen between the MCA visualization and the BTO outcome. MCA: Middle cerebral artery; BTO: Balloon test occlusion.
