    Abstract: Objective: To assess whether the effect of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with large-vessel occlusion differed between patients directly admitted to thrombectomy-capable centers and patients transferred from local stroke centers without thrombectomy capabilities. Methods: We included 3206 patients with an acute ischemic large-vessel stroke with first imaging within 7 hours after onset that were directly admitted to thrombectomy-capable centers and treated with thrombectomy, or transferred from local stroke centers for thrombectomy evaluation, between 2017 and 2021 in Catalonia, Spain. Primary outcome was the degree of disability at 90 days, as evaluated by the shift analysis on the mRs score. Secondary outcomes included mortality at 90 days and the rate of parenchymal hemorrhage and successful reperfusion. Inverse-probability weighting clustered at the type of stroke center was used to estimate the effects. Results: The analysis included 2268 patients (975[49%] treated with thrombolysis) directly admitted to thrombectomy-capable centers and 938 patients (580[66%] treated with thrombolysis and 616[67%] treated with thrombectomy) transferred from local stroke centers (mean age 72±13 years, median NIHSS score 17[IQR 12-21] , 1363 female[48%]). Patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis were younger, had shorter time from onset to first image acquisition, and higher rates of wake-up stroke, atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation intake. The effect of intravenous thrombolysis on the primary outcome was similar in patients directly admitted to thrombectomy-capable centers (acOR 1.50, 95% CI 1.24-1.81) and patients transferred from local stroke centers (acOR 1.44, 95% CI 1.04 to 2.01)(p interaction =0.68). Patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis had lower mortality rate, higher rate of parenchymal hematoma and similar rate of successful reperfusion, with no difference according to type of center (p interaction 〉 0.1). Conclusion: Administration of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with a large-vessel stroke with intention to thrombectomy was associated with higher odds of good functional outcome and higher rates of parenchymal hematoma, independently of the type of stroke center were it was administered.

    Abstract WMP66: Multiparametric Neuroimaging And Its Association With Non-Contrast Computed Tomography In Late Window Large Vessel Occlusion Acute Stroke

    Abstract: Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) between 6 to 24 hours is established as a standard of care among patients selected by multiparametric neuroimaging. Therefore, we aimed to explore neuroimaging parameters in late window AIS large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients and the association between findings in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and multiparametric CT. Methods: We included consecutive AIS patients within 6-24 hours from symptoms onset with CTA-LVO. We studied potential associations between computed tomography mismatch defined by DAWN and/or DEFUSE-3 neuroimaging criteria (CTP-MM), infarct volume on CTP, and ASPECTS on NCCT. We also analyzed the association between neuroimaging parameters and outcome determined by 90-day mRS. Results: We included 206 patients, of which 176 (85.4%) presented CTP-MM and 184 (89.3%) presented with an ASPECTS ≥ 6 on admission. The rate of CTP-MM was 90.8% in patients with ASPECTS ≥ 6, as compared with 40.9% in those with low ASPECTS [Figure 1A] . The ASPECTS correlated with infarct core, determined by Cerebral Blood Flow 〈 30% volume (rP=-0.575, P 〈 0.001). In EVT-treated patients (185, 89.8%), after adjusting for identifiable confounders, the presence of CTP-MM was a predictor of 90-day functional independence (OR 3.38; 95%CI 1.01-11.29; P=0.048). We did not find an association between CTP-MM and 90-day functional disability (ordinal mRS shift, aOR 1.39; 95% CI 0.58-3.34; P=0.459) [Figure 1B] . Conclusions: A great majority of patients who presented a LVO in late window fulfilled guidelines imaging criteria to undergo EVT, especially those with high ASPECTS (≥ 6). Our data suggest that NCCT with CT angiography is a reasonable approach for acute ischemic stroke treatment selection also in the late window.

    Abstract WP69: Does CBF Below 30% Actually Represent Infarct Core in Acute Ischemic Stroke? Proof of Mis-Concept

    Abstract: On CT perfusion (CTP), cerebral blood flow 〈 30% than the contralateral hemisphere (CBF 〈 30) is considered a marker of infarct core. Our hypothesis is that CBF 〈 30 defines a reversible poor hemodynamic area rather than core and aimed to study CBF 〈 30 evolution over time, its relationship with leptomeningeal collateral circulation (CC) and outcome parameters. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective database of acute ischemic strokes who underwent CTP on admission and immediately after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). CC was graded on CT angiography (CTA) by the modified Tan scale (good CC: 2-3 grades). Complete recanalization was defined by modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia ≥ 2B. Final infarct volume (FIV) was semi-automatically measured on 48-72h CT; ghost core was defined as: admission CBF 〈 30 - FIV 〉 10cc. Results: We included 494 patients; median time from onset to CT: 137 min (IQR 68-238). Median CBF 〈 30 volume on admission: 8 cc (0-28). With longer onset-to-CT times ischemic changes progressively increased on non-contrast CT (ASPECTS decay r=-0.21, p 〈 0.01), however CBF 〈 30 progressively decreased (r=-0.13, p 〈 0.01). 294 patients (60.6%) presented good CC. Good CC was associated with lower admission CBF 〈 30 (median CBF 〈 30 on good CC: 0 cc (0-12) vs 28.5 (7-57) on poor CC, p 〈 0.01). In recanalized patients (419, 84.8%), CBF 〈 30 virtually disappeared in CTP post-EVT (n=103) (median CBF 〈 30: 0ml (IQR 0) (88%= 0 cc) despite that most patients developed established infarcts (median FIV 16 (4-50), 59% FIV 〉 10cc)). Even in recanalized patients, baseline CBF 〈 30 only moderately correlates with FIV (r=0.55, p 〈 0.01). A ghost core was identified in 13.7% (34.5% if CT was performed 〈 90min from onset). 46.6% patients had good functional outcome (mRS 〈 3 at 3 months). A multivariate analysis of recanalized patients showed that CC (OR 0.43, CI 0.27-0.69, p 〈 0.01) but not CBF 〈 30 was an independent predictor of functional outcome. Conclusion: CBF 〈 30 represents an hemodynamic state rather than established infarct core, evolving over time inversely as it should physiologically (increase of infarct core over time). CBF 〈 30 should be considered as an outcome predictor but not used as exclusion criterion for EVT, especially in early time-windows.

    Abstract 81: Radial versus Femoral Access for Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion: A Randomized Clinical Trial

    Abstract: Introduction: Femoral artery is the most used access for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion. Routine radial access has been proposed as an alternative following cardiology guidelines although its safety and efficacy remain controversial. Hypothesis: Radial access for MT is non-inferior to femoral access in terms of final recanalization. Methods: The study was an investigator-initiated, single-center, evaluator-blinded randomized clinical trial. Stroke patients undergoing MT, with femoral artery patency and radial artery diameter ≥2.5mm were randomly assigned (1:1) to either radial (60 patients) or femoral access (60 patients). The primary binary outcome was successful recanalization (final eTICI score 2b-3) assigned by blinded evaluators. In the per protocol analysis, patients with allocated access failure were considered non-recanalized. We established a non-inferiority margin of -13.2%, considering an acceptable reduction of 15% in the expected recanalization rates. Results: From September 2021 to July 2023, 120 patients were randomly assigned and 114 (57 radial access, 57 femoral access) with confirmed intracranial occlusion on initial angiogram were included in the primary analysis. In the intention to treat analysis, successful recanalization was achieved in 48/57 (84.2%) patients assigned to femoral access and in 54/57(94.7%) patients assigned to radial (adjusted risk difference 3.36%, 95% CI –6.47% to 13%; p 〈 0.001). The lower limit of one-sided 95% CI was –4.8%, which did not cross our predefined margin of -13.2%. Median time from angiography suite arrival to first pass (femoral: 30 (IQR 25-37) minutes versus radial: 41 (IQR 33-62) minutes, p 〈 0.001) and from suite arrival to recanalization (femoral: 42 (IQR 28-74) versus radial: 59.5 (IQR 44-81) minutes, p 〈 0.050) were longer after radial access. Both groups presented one severe access complication and there was no difference in the rate of allocated access failure: radial 6 (10.5%) radial Vs femoral 5 (8.8%) (p=0.751). Conclusion: Among patients who underwent MT, radial access was non-inferior to femoral access in terms of final recanalization. Procedural delays may favor femoral access as default first approach.

    Abstract: Hypothesis: We aim to identify a profile of intracranial thrombus resistant to recanalization by standard mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute stroke treatment. Methods: First extracted clot of each MT were analyzed by Flow Cytometry obtaining composition of main leukocyte populations: granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes. Demographics, reperfusion treatment and grade of recanalization were registered. MT Failure ( MTF) was defined as final Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score IIa or lower and/ or need of permanent intracranial stenting as a rescue therapy after standard MT. In other cohort of cases, unconfined compression tests were performed to explore stiffness of retrieved clots . We looked for correlation between mechanical characterization tests and clot composition. Results: Among 225 patients, there were 13 % of MTF that were significantly associated to atherosclerosis etiology ( 33.3% vs. 15.9% ; p 0.021) , more passes ( 3 vs. 2; p 〈 0.001), higher proportion of clot granulocytes ( 82.46% vs. 68.90% ; p 〈 0.001) and lower proportion of clot monocytes ( 9.18% vs.17.34% ; p 〈 0.001). The proportion of clot granulocytes (aOR 1.07; 95% CI 1.01-1.14) remained as an independent marker of MTF. Among Thirty eight clots tested by unconfined compression median clot stiffness was 30.2 (IQR, 18.9-42.7) kPa. There was a positive correlation between granulocyte proportion and thrombi stiffness (Pearson’s r=0.35, p=0.032). Conclusions: There is a positive correlation between granulocyte proportion and thrombi stiffness that may explain endovascular resistance to recanalization. Influence of granulocytes within thrombus may be a target for future reperfusion treatments.

    Abstract TP2: Iv-thrombolysis Improves Perfusion Profiles In Patients With Anterior Circulation Occlusion Regardless Of Recanalization

    Abstract: Introduction: Recent publications suggest a positive added effect of iv-thrombolysis (IVT) in patients that undergo endovascular treatment (EVT). It is hypothesized that thrombolytics might have a beneficial impact on microcirculation beyond recanalization. We aim to analyze the potential impact of IVT in patients who underwent a repeated CTP after interhospital transfer. Methods: We retrospectively screened 116 patients transferred to our comprehensive stroke center from a primary stroke center capable to perform CTP from June 2021 to August 2022. We collected clinical and radiological data of patients that underwent CTP at both centers, which were analyzed with Rapid software. A neurointerventionalist assessed the occlusion location in CTA. Results: Twenty-eight patients with anterior circulation occlusion underwent two multimodal studies, median time between CTPs was 168[142-190]min. Fifteen (53.6%) patients received IVT in the primary stroke center and 13(46.4%) received EVT. Reperfusion occurred in 3(10.7%) cases, migration to distal segments in 5(17.9%). Among the 20 patients without changes in the occlusion location, CTP volumes remained stable (Tmax 〉 6s 61[41-141]ml vs 62[24-178] , p=0.72; Tmax 〉 10s 19[8-96] vs 13[0-105] , p=0.55; CBF30 0[0-66] vs 0[0-65] , p=0.99). CTP volumes tended to decrease with IVT, but a modest increase was observed in patients that did not receive IVT (Tmax 〉 6s -17[-29,+8]ml vs +22[-8,+42] , p=0.08; Tmax 〉 10s -8[-16,+6] vs +6[0,+37] , p=0.10; CBF 〈 30% 0[-6,0] vs 0[0,+4] , p=0.14) (figure). In a linear regression to predict CTP volumes in the second center, interaction between baseline values and IVT was significant for Tmax 〉 10s (p=0.06) and CBF 〈 30% (p 〈 0.05). Conclusion: In acute stroke patients with a LVO, no substantial changes are expected in CTP volumes in the absence of recanalization. However, patients that receive IVT tend to present reduced hypoperfusion volumes as compared with patients that do not receive IVT.

    Abstract TP120: Noncontrast Ct, Single-phase Cta, And Multiphase Cta Intracerebral Hemorrhage Expansion Scores

    Abstract: Background: Several noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT), single-phase computed tomography angiography (CTA), and multiphase CTA markers of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion have been previously proposed. We derived and validated three scores for the prediction of hematoma expansion depending on the use of NCCT, single-phase CTA, or multiphase CTA markers of hematoma expansion. Methods: We prospective studied 276 consecutive patients with ICH within 6 hours from symptom onset. After deriving NCCT, single-phase CTA, and multiphase CTA scores in a 5-year period population (n=156), we validated them in a different 3-year period population (n=120). Outcome parameters included substantial hematoma expansion 〉 6 mL or 〉 33% at 24 hours (primary outcome) and poor outcome (mRS score 〉 2) at 90 days. Results: The most accurate marker of hematoma expansion was spot sign in phase 1 of multiphase CTA (80.3%). The four independent predictors of substantial hematoma expansion included in the different scores were ultraearly hematoma growth (uHG) 〉 5 mL/h, heterogeneous density, spot sign in phase 1 of multiphase CTA, and spot sign in any phase of multiphase CTA (Table). On each of the three scores, the proportion of patients that experienced substantial hematoma expansion increased with each point increase. C-index for both substantial hematoma expansion and poor outcome in the derivation and validation cohort was lower in NCCT expansion score than in single-phase CTA expansion score which, in turn, was lower than in multiphase CTA expansion score (Table). Conclusions: This study demonstrates the added prognostic value of more advanced CT modalities in acute ICH evaluation. Single-phase CTA score and, especially, multiphase CTA score, are more robust than NCCT score in the prediction of hematoma expansion and poor outcome. These scores may help to refine the selection of patients at risk of expansion and poorest outcomes in different decision-making scenarios.

    Abstract: Spontaneous blood pressure drop within the first 24 h has been reported following arterial recanalisation in ischaemic stroke patients. We aimed to assess if spontaneous blood pressure drop within the first hour after mechanical thrombectomy is a marker of early neurological recovery. Patients and methods Retrospective observational single-centre study including ischaemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Blood pressure parameters from admission, mechanical thrombectomy start, mechanical thrombectomy end and hourly within 24 h after mechanical thrombectomy were reviewed. Primary outcome was early dramatic neurological recovery (8-point-reduction in NIHSS or NIHSS ≤ 2 at 24 h). Secondary outcome was functional independence at 90 days (mRankin 0–2). Results We included 458 patients in our analysis. Two-hundred (43.7%) patients achieved dramatic neurological recovery following mechanical thrombectomy. One hour after mechanical thrombectomy end, median systolic blood pressure was significantly different between outcome groups (129 vs. 138 mmHg, p = 0.005) and a higher drop in median systolic blood pressure was seen in the dramatic neurological recovery group (15 vs. 9 mmHg). Optimal cut-off for predicting dramatic neurological recovery was a systolic blood pressure drop of 10.5 mmHg (sensitivity 0.54, specificity 0.55, AUC 0.55). On multivariate analysis, spontaneous systolic blood pressure drop was associated with higher odds of achieving dramatic neurological recovery (OR for 10 mmHg blood pressure drop 1.14, 95% CI 1.01–1.29, p = 0.04). No significative association between any blood pressure parameter drop and functional independence at 90 days was found. Discussion We hypothesised that spontaneous systolic blood pressure drop is a marker of successful reperfusion and, therefore, a marker of improvement of cerebral autoregulation due to the reduced final ischaemic core. Conclusion Spontaneous systolic blood pressure drop after mechanical thrombectomy is an early predictor of dramatic neurological recovery.

    Abstract: In patients with stroke, current guidelines recommend non-invasive vascular imaging to identify intracranial vessel occlusions (VO) that may benefit from endovascular treatment (EVT). However, VO can be missed in CT angiography (CTA) readings. We aim to evaluate the impact of consistently including CT perfusion (CTP) in admission stroke imaging protocols. Methods From April to October 2020 all patients admitted with a suspected acute ischemic stroke underwent urgent non-contrast CT, CTA and CTP and were treated accordingly. Hypoperfusion areas defined by time-to-maximum of the tissue residue function (Tmax) 〉 6 s, congruent with the clinical symptoms and a vascular territory, were considered VO (CTP-VO). In addition, two experienced neuroradiologists blinded to CTP but not to clinical symptoms retrospectively evaluated non-contrast CT and CTA to identify intracranial VO (CTA-VO). Results Of the 338 patients included in the analysis, 157 (46.5%) presented with CTP-VO (median Tmax 〉 6s: 73 (29–127) mL). CTA-VO was identified in 83 (24.5%) of the cases. Overall CTA-VO sensitivity for the detection of CTP-VO was 50.3% and specificity was 97.8%. Higher hypoperfusion volume was associated with increased CTA-VO detection (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.04). EVT was performed in 103 patients (30.5%; Tmax 〉 6s: 102 (63–160) mL), representing 65.6% of all CTP-VO. Overall CTA-VO sensitivity for the detection of EVT-VO was 69.9% and specificity was 95.3%. Among patients who received EVT, the rate of false negative CTA-VO was 30.1% (Tmax 〉 6s: 69 (46–99.5) mL). Conclusion Systematically including CTP in acute stroke admission imaging protocols may increase the diagnosis of VO and rate of EVT.

    Abstract: A significant proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) present poor functional outcome despite recanalization. We aim to investigate computed tomography perfusion (CTP) patterns after EVT and their association with outcome Methods: Prospective study of anterior large vessel occlusion AIS patients who achieved complete recanalization (defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia (TICI) 2b - 3) after EVT. CTP was performed within 30 minutes post-EVT recanalization (POST-CTP): hypoperfusion was defined as volume of time to maximal arrival of contrast (Tmax) delay ≥6 seconds in the affected territory. Hyperperfusion was defined as visual increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and volume (CBV) with advanced Tmax compared with the unaffected hemisphere. Dramatic clinical recovery (DCR) was defined as a decrease of ≥8 points in NIHSS score at 24h or NIHSS≤2 and good functional outcome by mRS ≤2 at 3 months. Results: One-hundred and forty-one patients were included. 49 (34.7%) patients did not have any perfusion abnormality on POST-CTP, 60 (42.5%) showed hypoperfusion (median volume Tmax≥6s 17.5cc, IQR 6-45cc) and 32 (22.8%) hyperperfusion. DCR appeared in 56% of patients and good functional outcome in 55.3%. Post-EVT hypoperfusion was related with worse final TICI, and associated worse early clinical evolution, larger final infarct volume (p 〈 0.01 for all) and was an independent predictor of functional outcome (OR 0.98, CI 0.97-0.99, p=0.01). Furthermore, POST-CTP identified patients with delayed improvement: in patients without DCR (n=62, 44%), there was a significant difference in post-EVT hypoperfusion volume according to functional outcome (hypoperfusion volume of 2cc in good outcome vs 11cc in poor outcome, OR 0.97 CI 0.93-0.99, p=0.04), adjusted by confounding factors. Hyperperfusion was not associated with worse outcome (p=0.45) nor symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (p=0.55). Conclusion: Hypoperfusion volume after EVT is an accurate predictor of functional outcome. In patients without dramatic clinical recovery, hypoperfusion predicts good functional outcome and defines a “stunned-brain” pattern. POST-CTP may help to select EVT patients for additional therapies.
