    Abstract: Introduction: The precise interactions between collateral perfusion, hemodynamics, and infarct growth after large vessel occlusion (LVO) require further definition. This study examined whether patients with poor collateral circulation and rapid early infarct progression are more vulnerable to reductions in blood pressure (BP). Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with LVO stroke who underwent thrombectomy. Volumes of arterial tissue delay and relative cerebral blood flow (CBF) were estimated with RAPID software; a poor collateral profile was defined by a hypoperfusion intensity ratio 〉 0.4. Early infarct growth rate (EIGR) was defined as ischemic core volume (CBF 〈 30%) divided by the time from symptom onset to imaging. A fast progressor profile was assigned to patients whose EIGR was 〉 10 mL/h. The final infarct growth rate (FIGR) was the quotient of final infarct volume (FIV) and time from symptom onset to reperfusion. BP reduction was measured as the difference between admission mean arterial pressure (MAP) and lowest MAP before reperfusion. Results: Fifty-five patients (mean age 69 + 15, mean NIHSS 13) with successful reperfusion (TICI 2B/3) were included in the analysis. The median MAP reduction was 17 (IQR 9, 32). Poor collateral perfusion and EIGR were independent predictors of FIV after adjusting for age and admission NIHSS (mean FIV 70 vs. 31 mL, p=0.012 and 60 vs. 29 mL, p=0.01, respectively). A significant interaction was found between MAP reduction and both collateral status (p=0.04) and progressor profile (p=0.01). For every 10 mmHg MAP reduction, patients with poor collaterals experienced an average increase in FIGR of 3.6 mL/h (Fig. 1A). Above a critical MAP reduction threshold of 30 mmHg, mean FIV was significantly larger in patients with rapidly progressing infarcts (p 〈 0.01, Fig. 1B). Conclusions: Patients with poor collaterals and rapid early infarct growth are at higher risk of accelerated infarct growth and larger FIV related to BP reductions.

    Abstract: Introduction: High blood pressure variability (BPV) after endovascular thrombectomy is associated with post-stroke complications and poor neurological outcomes. However, whether BPV is an epiphenomenon of the stroke itself or causally related to the outcome remains unknown. Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate if a relationship exists between pre-and post-stroke BPV in patients with large vessel occlusions (LVO). Methods: From our prospective stroke registry, we identified patients who had an anterior circulation LVO, underwent EVT, and had at least three blood pressure measurements recorded in the electronic medical record in the six months prior to their stroke admission. All patients had repeated time-stamped blood pressure data recorded for the first 72 hours after thrombectomy. Using the standard deviation of systolic BP, we calculated BPV for each patient and separated patients into tertiles based on their post-EVT BPV. The relationship between pre-stroke BPV and post-EVT BPV was analyzed using an ordinal logistic regression and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Results: Two hundred fifty-two patients were included in our analysis (mean age 70±16.2 years, mean admission NIHSS 15±7, median pre-stroke BP measurements 14.5 (IQR 5.0-55.8)). Pre-stroke BPV gradually increased for patients with higher post-EVT BPV tertiles (tertile 1 = 13.2(±5.2) mmHg, tertile 2 = 15.0(±5.5) mmHg, tertile 3 = 16.7(±7.0) mmHg, p=0.001). A positive correlation was observed between pre-stroke BPV and post-EVT BPV (p 〈 0.001, R=0.21). After adjusting for age and admission NIHSS, pre-stroke BPV was significantly associated with post-EVT BPV tertile membership (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.02-1.86, p=0.039). Conclusion: High pre-stroke BPV is correlated with high post-EVT BPV. Although larger, prospective studies are needed to provide definitive evidence of this relationship, our work suggests that high post-EVT BPV may be related to an underlying biological phenomenon and not merely a consequence of the stroke itself. Individuals with high BPV may benefit from more intensive blood pressure management in the acute phase after EVT.

    Abstract: Introduction: Decreases in blood pressure (BP) during thrombectomy are associated with infarct progression and worse outcomes. Many patients present first to a primary stroke center (PSC) and are later transferred to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) to undergo thrombectomy. During this period, important BP variations might occur. We evaluated the association of BP reductions with neurological worsening and functional outcomes. Methods: We prospectively collected hemodynamic, clinical, and radiographic data on consecutive patients with LVO ischemic stroke who were transferred from a PSC for possible thrombectomy between 2018 and 2020. We assessed systolic BP (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at five time points: earliest recorded, average pre-PSC, PSC admission, average PSC, and CSC admission. We measured neurologic worsening as a change in NIHSS (ΔNIHSS) from PSC to CSC 〉 3 and functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge and 90 days. Relationships between variables of interest were evaluated using linear regression. Results: Of 91 patients (mean age 70±16 years, mean NIHSS 12) included, 13 (14%) experienced early neurologic deterioration (ΔNIHSS 〉 3), and 34 (37%) achieved a good outcome at discharge (mRS 〈 3). We found that patients with good outcome had significantly lower SBP at all five assessed time points compared to patients with poor outcome (Figure 1, p 〈 0.05). Percent change in MAP from initial presentation to CSC arrival was independently associated with ΔNIHSS after adjusting for age, sex, and transfer time (p=0.03, β=0.27). Conclusions: Patients with poor outcomes have higher BP throughout the pre-CSC period, possibly reflecting an augmented hypertensive response. Reductions in SBP and MAP before arrival at the CSC are associated with neurologic worsening. These results suggest that BP management strategies in the pre-CSC period to avoid large reductions in BP may improve outcomes in patients affected by LVO stroke.

    Abstract: Background: Optimal level blood pressure (BP) targets in acute stroke remain elusive. Tailored hemodynamic management after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may reduce the risk of reperfusion injury and promote penumbral recovery. Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between personalized autoregulation-based BP targets, secondary brain injury, and functional outcomes. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT. Autoregulatory function was continuously measured for 〉 =24 hours using simultaneous recordings of near-infrared spectroscopy and mean arterial pressure (MAP). The resulting autoregulatory index was used to calculate and trend the BP range at which autoregulation was most preserved. Percent time and “dose” that MAP exceeded the upper limit or dropped below the lower limit of autoregulation (ULA, LLA) were calculated for each patient. Hemodynamic parameters were correlated with short-term clinical endpoints (symptomatic ICH), biomarkers of secondary brain injury (net water uptake, hemorrhagic transformation (HT), infarct progression), and 90-day functional outcomes. Results: Personalized BP targets were successfully computed in 195 patients (mean age 70 ± 16, 45% female, mean NIHSS 14, mean monitoring time 31 ± 28 hours). Time above the ULA was associated with worse functional outcomes at 90-days after adjusting for age, sex, NIHSS, ASPECTS and TICI (adjusted OR per 10% increase 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.6, P=0.004). The burden of hyperperfusion was significantly greater among patients with HT (median 2.7 vs. 3.2 mmHg*min, p=0.01) and sICH (median 2.8 vs. 4.8 mmHg*min, p=0.05) than in those without it. Furthermore, time spent above the ULA was significantly correlated with net water uptake at 72 hours (r=0.37, p=0.03). Among patients with unsuccessful reperfusion, there was a non-significant correlation between time below the LLA and infarct progression (r=0.35, p=0.064). Conclusions: In the largest study conducted to date, deviations from personalized BP targets were associated with an increased risk of secondary brain injury and worse functional outcomes. Autoregulation-oriented BP management represents a promising strategy for maximizing recovery after ischemic stroke.

    Abstract: After large-vessel intracranial occlusion, the fate of the ischemic penumbra, and ultimately final infarct volume, largely depends on tissue perfusion. In this study, we evaluated whether blood pressure reduction and sustained relative hypotension during endovascular thrombectomy are associated with infarct progression and functional outcome. Methods— We identified consecutive patients with large-vessel intracranial occlusion ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at 2 comprehensive stroke centers. Intraprocedural mean arterial pressure (MAP) was monitored throughout the procedure. ΔMAP was calculated as the difference between admission MAP and lowest MAP during endovascular thrombectomy until recanalization. Sustained hypotension was measured as the area between admission MAP and continuous measurements of intraprocedural MAP (aMAP). Final infarct volume was measured using magnetic resonance imaging at 24 hours, and functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale at discharge and 90 days. Associations with outcome were analyzed using linear and ordinal multivariable logistic regression. Results— Three hundred ninety patients (mean age 71±14 years, mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 17) were included in the study; of these, 280 (72%) achieved Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2B/3 reperfusion. Eighty-seven percent of patients experienced MAP reductions during endovascular thrombectomy (mean 31±20 mm Hg). ΔMAP was associated with greater infarct growth ( P =0.036) and final infarct volume ( P =0.035). Mean ΔMAP among patients with favorable outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2) was 20±21 mm Hg compared with 30±24 mm Hg among patients with poor outcome ( P =0.002). In the multivariable analysis, ΔMAP was independently associated with higher (worse) modified Rankin Scale scores at discharge (adjusted odds ratio per 10 mm Hg, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04–1.32; P =0.009) and at 90 days (adjusted odds ratio per 10 mm Hg, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07–1.38; P =0.003). The association between aMAP and outcome was also significant at discharge ( P =0.002) and 90 days ( P =0.001). Conclusions— Blood pressure reduction before recanalization is associated with larger infarct volumes and worse functional outcomes for patients affected by large-vessel intracranial occlusion stroke. These results underscore the importance of BP management during endovascular thrombectomy and highlight the need for further investigation of blood pressure management after large-vessel intracranial occlusion stroke.

    Abstract: Background: Impairment of cerebral autoregulation after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) makes patients vulnerable to changes in blood pressure (BP). While oral nimodipine is recommended for improving neurological outcomes, its administration is frequently associated with reductions in BP. In this observational study, we examined the effect of nimodipine-induced BP reductions below personalized limits of autoregulation on outcome after aneurysmal SAH. Methods: Autoregulatory function was continuously measured by interrogating changes in near-infrared spectroscopy-derived tissue oxygenation (a cerebral blood flow surrogate) in response to changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP). The resulting autoregulatory index was used for trending the BP range at which autoregulation was most preserved. Cerebral hypoperfusion was defined as episodes with at least 30 minutes of MAP reductions below the lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) following nimodipine administration (Fig. 1). Functional outcome was measured with the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days. Results: We identified 593 occurrences of nimodipine administration with simultaneous recording of continuous physiologic data for 60 minutes before and after the intervention among 26 SAH patients (mean age 57 + 14, 21 F). Following nimodipine administration, the mean MAP decreased from 103 to 98 mmHg (p 〈 0.001), and the time with MAP below the LLA increased from 9.5 to 21.7% (p 〈 0.001). Moreover, the proportion of episodes with cerebral hypoperfusion was associated with worse 90-day outcomes after adjusting for age and SAH severity (OR for 10% increase 1.5, 95% CI 1.2-2.2, P=0.038). Conclusions: Nimodipine-induced BP reductions below the LLA may increase the risk of secondary brain injury and poor functional outcomes. A more personalized treatment approach accounting for cerebral autoregulation status could help identify vulnerable patients and maximize the benefit from current clinical interventions.
