Abstract Purpose Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the first-line treatment in acute stroke patients presenting with large vessel occlusion (LVO). The efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to MT is being contested. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of MT without IVT in patients with no contraindications to IVT presenting directly to a tertiary stroke center with acute anterior circulation LVO. Materials and Methods We collected the data of 106 acute stroke patients who underwent MT in a single high-volume stroke center. Patients with anterior circulation LVO eligible for IVT and directly admitted to our institution who subsequently underwent MT were included. We recorded baseline clinical, laboratory, procedural, and imaging variables and technical, imaging, and clinical outcomes. The effect of intravenous thrombolysis on 3-month clinical outcome (mRS) was analyzed with univariate tests and binary and ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results Fifty-eight out of the 106 patients received IVT + MT. These patients had 2.6-fold higher odds of poorer clinical outcome in mRS shift analysis (p = 0.01) compared to MT-only patients who had excellent 3-month clinical outcome (mRS 0–1) three times more often (p = 0.009). There were no significant differences between the groups in process times, mTICI, or number of hemorrhagic complications. A trend of less distal embolization and higher number of device passes was observed among the MT-only patients. Conclusions MT without prior IVT was associated with an improved overall three-month clinical outcome in acute anterior circulation LVO patients.

The Relationship

Background and Purpose: Post-ischemic hyperperfusion has been considered as a risk factor of hemorrhagic transformation and poor prognosis. To date, however, there is a lack of data about the pathological significance of hyperperfusion after reperfusion therapy. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between hemorrhagic transformation and post-ischemic hyperperfusion after reperfusion therapy by using arterial spin labeled perfusion MRI (ASL) and 123 I IMP-SPECT. Methods: We retrospectively collected data of acute stroke patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion who received intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular therapy, and underwent pulsed ASL using Q2TIPS-FAIR with 3D-TGSE readout and 123 I IMP-SPECT using dual-table ARG method within 14 days of stroke onset from November 2015 to June 2016. Ipsilateral-contralateral regional cerebral blood flow ratio (IC ratio) was calculated by using three-dimensional stereotactic ROI template (3DSRT) software. Results: Among 47 consecutive acute stroke patients with the MCA occlusion who received reperfusion therapy, 21 underwent only ASL and 10 underwent both ASL and SPECT after reperfusion therapy. The IC ratio of ASL was well correlated with that of SPECT in the MCA territory (r=0.65, p <0.001). Hemorrhagic transformation was observed in 7 patients. IC ratio was higher in patients with hemorrhagic transformation after reperfusion therapy than those without hemorrhagic transformation (2.19±0.35 vs 0.99±0.19, p=0.005). Focal post-ischemic hyperperfusion (IC ratio >1.5) was detected in 7 of 31 patients (23%). The presence of post-ischemic hyperperfusion was significantly associated with hemorrhagic transformation after reperfusion therapy (odds ratio 9.3, 95% confidence interval 1.4 to 64.0, p=0.03). Conclusions: Post-ischemic hyperperfusion detected by ASL predicts hemorrhagic transformation after reperfusion therapy. ASL hyperperfusion may indicate the disruption of blood brain barrier after reperfusion therapy.
