    Abstract: Simultaneous multiple intracerebral hemorrhages (SMICHs) are uncommon. Few single-center studies have analyzed characteristics and outcome of SMICH. We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcome of SMICH patients from 2 comprehensive stroke centers. Methods— Baseline imaging from consecutive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients (n=1552) from Helsinki ICH study and Royal Melbourne Hospital ICH study was screened for SMICH. ICH pathogenesis was classified according to the structural lesion, medication, amyloid angiopathy, systemic/other disease, hypertension, undetermined classification system (SMASH-U). ICH caused by trauma, tumor, and aneurysmal rupture was excluded. Baseline clinical and radiological characteristics and 90-day mortality were compared between SMICH and single ICH patients. Association of SMICH with 90-day mortality was assessed in multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for predictors of ICH outcome. Results— Of 1452 patients, 85 (5.9%) were classified as SMICH. SMICH were more often female (58% versus 42%; P =0.004), had lower baseline Glasgow Coma Scale (12 versus 14; P =0.008), and more frequent lobar location (59% versus 34%; P 〈 0.001) compared with single ICH. The SMASH-U pathogenesis of SMICH patients was less often hypertensive (20% versus 37%; P =0.001), more often systemic coagulopathy (12% versus 3%; P 〈 0.001), and trended toward more cerebral amyloid angiopathy (32% versus 23%; P =0.071). SMICH was not associated with 90-day mortality on univariate (37% versus 35%; P =0.610), multivariable (odds ratio, 0.783; 95% confidence interval, 0.401–1.529; P =0.473), or propensity score–matched analyses (odds ratio, 0.760; 95% confidence interval, 0.352–1.638; P =0.484). Conclusions— SMICH occurs in ≈1 in 20 ICH, more commonly with lobar located hematomas and systemic coagulopathy with less hypertensive angiopathy. The associated mortality is similar to single ICH. Given varied etiologies, SMICH management should target the underlying pathology.

    Abstract: Whether reperfusion into infarcted tissue exacerbates cerebral edema has treatment implications in patients presenting with extensive irreversible injury. We investigated the effects of endovascular thrombectomy and reperfusion on cerebral edema in patients presenting with radiological evidence of large hemispheric infarction at baseline. Methods: In a systematic review and individual patient-level meta-analysis of 7 randomized controlled trials comparing thrombectomy versus medical therapy in anterior circulation ischemic stroke published between January 1, 2010, and May 31, 2017 (Highly Effective Reperfusion Using Multiple Endovascular Devices collaboration), we analyzed the association between thrombectomy and reperfusion with maximal midline shift (MLS) on follow-up imaging as a measure of the space-occupying effect of cerebral edema in patients with large hemispheric infarction on pretreatment imaging, defined as diffusion-magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography (CT)-perfusion ischemic core 80 to 300 mL or noncontrast CT-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≤5. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool. Results: Among 1764 patients, 177 presented with large hemispheric infarction. Thrombectomy and reperfusion were associated with functional improvement (thrombectomy common odds ratio =2.30 [95% CI, 1.32–4.00]; reperfusion common odds ratio =4.73 [95% CI, 1.66–13.52] ) but not MLS (thrombectomy β=−0.27 [95% CI, −1.52 to 0.98]; reperfusion β=−0.78 [95% CI, −3.07 to 1.50] ) when adjusting for age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Score, glucose, and time-to-follow-up imaging. In an exploratory analysis of patients presenting with core volume 〉 130 mL or CT-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≤3 (n=76), thrombectomy was associated with greater MLS after adjusting for age and National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (β=2.76 [95% CI, 0.33–5.20]) but not functional improvement (odds ratio, 1.71 [95% CI, 0.24–12.08] ). Conclusions: In patients presenting with large hemispheric infarction, thrombectomy and reperfusion were not associated with MLS, except in the subgroup with very large core volume ( 〉 130 mL) in whom thrombectomy was associated with increased MLS due to space-occupying ischemic edema. Mitigating cerebral edema-mediated secondary injury in patients with very large infarcts may further improve outcomes after reperfusion therapies.

    Abstract: The benefit of endovascular therapy in extended time windows has been demonstrated in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke and favorable imaging profile. We evaluated whether collaterals and thrombus burden influence the associations between revascularization, time-to-treatment, and outcome in endovascular therapy-treated patients with basilar artery occlusion. Methods— We retrospectively analyzed clinical and imaging data of consecutive endovascular therapy-treated patients with basilar artery occlusion included in the multicenter Basilar Artery Treatment and Management Collaboration. The BATMAN (Basilar Artery on Computed Tomography Angiography score, which evaluates thrombus burden and collaterals) and the PC-CS (Posterior Circulation Collateral score, which evaluates collaterals) were assessed on computed tomography angiography, blinded to clinical outcome. Good outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of ≤3 within 3 months; revascularization (successful reperfusion) as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b–3 (or TIMI [Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction] 2–3 in the BASICS [Basilar Artery International Cooperation Study] registry). Results— We included 172 patients with basilar artery occlusion treated with endovascular therapy (124 with mechanical thrombectomy): mean (SD) age 65 (13) years, median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 22 (interquartile range 12–30), 64 (37%) treated 〉 6 hours. Revascularization (achieved in 79% of patients) was associated with good outcome ( P =0.003). The use of new generation thrombectomy devices was associated with good outcome ( P =0.03). In patients who achieved revascularization, 29/46 (63%) of patients with a favorable BATMAN score and 26/51 (51%) with favorable PC-CS had good outcomes. In logistic regression analysis (adjusted for age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and time-to-treatment ≤6/ 〉 6 hours), revascularization was associated with good outcome in patients with favorable BATMAN score (odds ratio, 15.8; 95% CI, 1.4–175; P =0.02) or PC-CS (odds ratio, 9.4; 95% CI, 1.4–64; P =0.02). In patients who achieved revascularization, early (time-to-treatment ≤6 hours) but not late treatment was associated with improved outcome in patients with unfavorable BATMAN score (18/52 [35%]; odds ratio, 15; 95% CI, 1.9–124; P =0.01) or PC-CS (16/44 [36%]; odds ratio, 5.5; 95% CI, 1.4–21; P =0.01). Conclusions— Revascularization is associated with good outcome in patients with basilar artery occlusion with good collaterals and less extensive occlusion, even 〉 6 hours after onset.

    Abstract: Infarct location has a critical effect on patient outcome after ischemic stroke, but the study of its role independent of overall lesion volume is challenging. We performed a retrospective, hypothesis-generating study of the effect of infarct location on three-month functional outcome in a pooled analysis of the EPITHET and DEFUSE studies. Methods Posttreatment MRI diffusion lesions were manually segmented and transformed into standard-space. A novel composite brain atlas derived from three standard brain atlases and encompassing 132 cortical and sub-cortical structures was used to segment the transformed lesion into different brain regions, and calculate the percentage of each region infarcted. Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis was performed to determine the important regions in each hemisphere associated with nonfavorable outcome at day 90 (modified Rankin score [mRS] 〉 1). Results Overall, 152 patients (82 left hemisphere) were included. Median diffusion lesion volume was 37·0 ml, and median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Score was 13. In the left hemisphere, the strongest determinants of nonfavorable outcome were infarction of the uncinate fasciculus, followed by precuneus, angular gyrus and total diffusion lesion volume. In the right hemisphere, the strongest determinants of nonfavorable outcome were infarction of the parietal lobe followed by the putamen. Conclusions Assessment of infarct location using CART demonstrates regional characteristics associated with poor outcome. Prognostically important locations include limbic, default-mode and language areas in the left hemisphere, and visuospatial and motor regions in the right hemisphere.

    Abstract: Intracranial occlusion site, contrast permeability, and clot burden are thrombus characteristics that influence alteplase-associated reperfusion. In this study, we assessed the reperfusion efficacy of tenecteplase and alteplase in subgroups based on these characteristics in a pooled analysis of the EXTEND-IA TNK trial (Tenecteplase Versus Alteplase Before Endovascular Therapy for Ischemic Stroke). Methods: Patients with large vessel occlusion were randomized to treatment with tenecteplase (0.25 or 0.4 mg/kg) or alteplase before thrombectomy in hospitals across Australia and New Zealand (2015–2019). The primary outcome, early reperfusion, was defined as the absence of retrievable thrombus or 〉 50% reperfusion on first-pass angiogram. We compared the effect of tenecteplase versus alteplase overall, and in subgroups, based on the following measured with computed tomography angiography: intracranial occlusion site, contrast permeability (measured via residual flow grades), and clot burden (measured via clot burden scores). We adjusted for covariates using mixed effects logistic regression models. Results: Tenecteplase was associated with higher odds of early reperfusion (75/369 [20%] versus alteplase: 9/96 [9%] , adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.18 [95% CI, 1.03–4.63] ). The difference between thrombolytics was notable in occlusions with low clot burden (tenecteplase: 66/261 [25%] versus alteplase: 5/67 [7%] , aOR, 3.93 [95% CI, 1.50–10.33]) when compared to high clot burden lesions (tenecteplase: 9/108 [8%] versus alteplase: 4/29 [14%], aOR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.16–2.06] ; P interaction =0.01). We did not observe an association between contrast permeability and tenecteplase treatment effect (permeability present: aOR, 2.83 [95% CI, 1.00–8.05] versus absent: aOR, 1.98 [95% CI, 0.65–6.03] ; P interaction =0.62). Tenecteplase treatment effect was superior with distal M1 or M2 occlusions (53/176 [30%] versus alteplase: 4/42 [10%] , aOR, 3.73 [95% CI, 1.25–11.11]), but both thrombolytics had limited efficacy with internal carotid artery occlusions (tenecteplase 1/73 [1%] versus alteplase 1/19 [5%], aOR, 0.22 [95% CI, 0.01–3.83] ; P interaction =0.16). Conclusions: Tenecteplase demonstrates superior early reperfusion versus alteplase in lesions with low clot burden. Reperfusion efficacy remains limited in internal carotid artery occlusions and lesions with high clot burden. Further innovation in thrombolytic therapies are required.

    Abstract: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a serious potential complication of stroke thrombolysis. We investigated the optimal computed tomography perfusion (CTP) parameter to predict cerebral parenchymal hematoma (PH) in acute ischemic stroke. Methods— Patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke had whole-brain CTP and follow-up computed tomography/MRI to identify hemorrhagic transformation. The association of the 3 parameters relative cerebral blood flow, relative cerebral blood volume, and time to maximum ( T max ) with PH was examined using receiver operating characteristic analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Results— Of 132 patients, 70 were treated with thrombolysis, and 14 (10.6%) developed PH on follow-up imaging. Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ( P =0.033) and thrombolysis ( P =0.003) were both predictive of PH. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that T max 〉 14 s (area under the curve=0.748; P =0.002) and relative cerebral blood flow 〈 30% of contralateral mean (area under the curve=0.689, P =0.021) were the optimal thresholds, and the Bayesian information criterion (+2.6) indicated that T max was more strongly associated with PH than relative cerebral blood flow. T max 〉 14 s volumes of 〉 5 mL allowed prediction of PH with sensitivity of 79%, specificity of 68%, and negative likelihood ratio of 3.16. T max 〉 14 s volume and thrombolysis were both independently predictive of PH in a multivariate logistic regression model ( P 〈 0.05). Conclusions— T max 〉 14 s was the CTP parameter most strongly associated with PH. This outperformed relative cerebral blood flow 〈 30%, which closely equates to CTP estimates of ischemic core volume. Although ischemic core volume on CTP is useful in the pretreatment prediction of PH, severe hypoperfusion on T max is more strongly associated and may allow better prediction of the likely anatomic location of hemorrhage.

    Abstract: Advanced imaging may refine patient selection for ischemic stroke treatment but delays to acquire and process the imaging have limited implementation. Aims We examined the feasibility of imaging selection in clinical practice using fully automated software in the EXTEND trial program. Methods CTP and perfusion-diffusion MRI data were processed using fully-automated software to generate a yes/no ‘mismatch’ classification that determined eligibility for trial therapies. The technical failure/mismatch classification error rate and time to image and treat with CT vs. MR-based selection were examined. Results In a consecutive series of 776 patients from five sites over six-months the technical failure rate of CTP acquisition/processing (uninterpretable maps) was 3·4% (26/776, 95%CI 2·2–4·9%). Mismatch classification was overruled by expert review in an additional 9·0% (70/776, 95%CI 7·1–11·3%) due to artifactual ‘perfusion lesion’. In 154 consecutive patients at one site, median additional time to acquire CTP after noncontrast CT was 6·5 min. Subsequent RAPID processing time varied from 3–10 min across 20 trial centers (median 5 min 20 s). In the EXTEND trial, door-to-needle times in patients randomized on the basis of CTP ( n = 47) were median 78 min shorter than MRI-selected ( n = 16) patients ( P 〈 0·001). Conclusions Automated CTP-based mismatch selection is rapid, robust in clinical practice, and associated with faster treatment decisions than MRI. This technological advance has the potential to improve the standardization and reproducibility of interpretation of advanced imaging and extend use to practice settings beyond highly specialized academic centers.
