Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The overall goal of our study is to create modified Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) determined by the findings on arterial spin labeling imaging (ASL) to predict the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke after successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Prior to that, we examined predictive factors including the value of cerebral blood flow (CBF) measured by ASL for occurrence of cerebral infarction at the region of interest (ROI) used in the ASPECTS after successful MT.
Methods
Of the 92 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with MT at our institution between April 2013 and April 2021, a total of 26 patients who arrived within 8 h after stroke onset and underwent MT resulting in a thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score of 2B or 3 were analyzed. Magnetic resonance imaging, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and ASL, was performed on arrival and the day after MT. The asymmetry index (AI) of CBF by ASL (ASL-CBF) before MT was calculated for 11 regions of interest using the DWI-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score.
Results
Occurrence of infarction after successful MT for ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation can be expected when the formula 0.3211 × history of atrial fibrillation +0.0096 × the AI of ASL-CBF before MT (%) +0.0012 × the time from onset to reperfusion (min) yields a value below 1.0 or when the AI of ASL-CBF before MT is below 61.5%.
Conclusion
The AI of ASL-CBF before MT or a combination of a history of atrial fibrillation, the AI of ASL-CBF before MT, and the time from onset to reperfusion can be used to predict the occurrence of infarction in patients arriving within 8 h after stroke onset in which reperfusion with MT was successful.
