    Abstract: The influence of vascular imaging acquisition on workflows at local stroke centers (LSCs) not capable of performing thrombectomy in patients with a suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke remains uncertain. We analyzed the impact of performing vascular imaging (VI+) or not (VI− at LSC arrival on variables related to workflows using data from the RACECAT Trial. Objective To compare workflows at the LSC among patients enrolled in the RACECAT Trial with or without VI acquisition. Methods We included patients with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke who were enrolled in the RACECAT Trial, a cluster-randomized trial that compared drip-n-ship versus mothership triage paradigms in patients with suspected acute LVO stroke allocated at the LSC. Outcome measures included time metrics related to workflows and the rate of interhospital transfers and thrombectomy among transferred patients. Results Among 467 patients allocated to a LSC, vascular imaging was acquired in 277 patients (59%), of whom 198 (71%) had a LVO. As compared with patients without vascular imaging, patients in the VI+ group were transferred less frequently as thrombectomy candidates to a thrombectomy-capable center (58% vs 74%, P=0.004), without significant differences in door-indoor-out time at the LSC (median minutes, VI+ 78 (IQR 69–96) vs VI− 76 (IQR 59–98), P=0.6). Among transferred patients, the VI+ group had higher rate of thrombectomy (69% vs 55%, P=0.016) and shorter door to puncture time (median minutes, VI+ 41 (IQR 26–53) vs VI− 54 (IQR 40–70), P 〈 0.001). Conclusion Among patients with a suspected LVO stroke initially evaluated at a LSC, vascular imaging acquisition might improve workflow times at thrombectomy-capable centers and reduce the rate of futile interhospital transfers. These results deserve further evaluation and should be replicated in other settings and geographies.

    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: Background: Platelet function measured by Aggregometry tests (AT) are commonly used to measure the response to antiplatelets in patients undergoing intracranial and coronary stenting. However, its relevance in carotid and vertebral stents (CVS) is unsettled. We aimed to determine the yield of antiplatelet resistance (AR) in CVS patients, and its relationship with early restenosis and new ischemic lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: We studied consecutive patients undergoing CVS. Platelet function was assessed before stenting by means of VerifyNow-assay using Aspirin and P2Y12 cartridges. Antiplatelet reactivity was defined using the cut-off values ARU≥550 as Aspirin resistance (AASR) and PRU≥220 as Clopidogrel resistance (CR). Patients received baseline and 5-day MRI. Periprocedural complications, the new ischemic lesions at 5-day MRI and stent permeability by carotid ultrasound at 24 hours, 5 days and 3 months were analysed. Results: A total of 366 patients were screened. Of those, 246 patients were enrolled and tested for platelet function. A total of 135 patients (54.2%) showed AR, 48 AASR (19.5%) and 112 CR (45.5%). Aspirin dose after the test was increased in 21 patients (45.7%). In 22 patients (20%) with CR the daily dose was increased, in 40 patients (37.7%) an extra-loading dose was administrated and in 9 patients (8.4%) we increased both. At 24 hours, one patient showed restenosis 〉 50% and another an occlusion (0.4 and 0.4% respectively). At 5 days, 8 patients had restenosis 〈 50% (13.1%) and in 43 (17.5%) MRI showed new ischemic lesions. At 3 months 9 patients had stenosis 〉 50% (4.5%) and stenting-related recurrence was observed in 3 (1.4%). A larger size lesions at 5-day MRI (OR 0.143; 95%CI 0.028-0.719) and a multi-territorial ischemic pattern (OR 0.143; 95%CI 0.075-0.893) were associated with lack of response to Clopidogrel therapy. No significant differences in AASR were observed across different groups. Conclusion: The yield of antiplatelet resistance in our series was 54.2%. Clopidogrel resistance was associated with a larger size and a multi-territorial stroke pattern at 5-day MRI. More studies are needed to elucidate the clinical impact of Aggregometry test and management recommendations.

    Abstract: Transfer protocols from primary (PSC) to comprehensive stroke centers (CSC) are crucial for the success of endovascular treatment (EVT). We aimed to identify clinical and neuroimaging predictors of EVT outcome in patients first assessed at non-capable EVT centers. Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients included in a prospective, population-based, mandatory registry of acute ischemic strokes (AIS). Inclusion criteria: AIS firstly evaluated at a PSC with suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) transferred to a CSC for EVT assessment. PSC and CSC-ASPECTS, time-metrics and clinical data were analyzed. Results: Between February 2016 and May 2018, 1185 EVT candidates were transferred from PSC to CSC in our stroke code network (see Graph). Median baseline NIHSS was 13(7-19). 53.4% received iv tPA in the PSC. Upon CSC arrival, LVO was confirmed in 63.1% patients, and 42.8% received EVT. After a median of 130(107-169)min between both CT-acquisitions, the median inter-facilities ASPECTS decay was 1(0-2) and only 11.9% showed a CSC-ASPECTS 〈 6. A ROC curve identified baseline NIHSS 〉 16 as the best cut-off point that predicted CSC-ASPECTS 〈 6(Sensitivity 67%, specificity 75%, AUC 0.7). A logistic regression analysis adjusted by age, time from symptoms to PSC-CT and time from PSC-CT to CSC-CT showed that only a baseline NIHSS 〉 16 independently predicted a CSC-ASPECTS 〈 6(OR 3.8, CI 2.1-6.9, p 〈 0.001). The rate of CSC-ASPECTS 〈 6 increased to 21% among AIS with NIHSS 〉 16, and to 38.1% in patients with NIHSS 〉 16 and PSC-ASPECS≤7. Conclusion: ASPECTS 〈 6 scores are uncommon in CSC even after long transfer times. Except for selected cases (NIHSS 〉 16 or PSC-ASPECTS≤7), confirming ASPECTS upon CSC arrival may not be necessary among AIS transferred from PSC.

    Abstract: Aim: We performed a histological and immune analysis of the clot in acute stroke patients to detect surrogates of stroke etiology. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of consecutive patients with acute stroke who underwent thrombectomy that obtained extracted thrombus (ITACAT study). Several staining were performed to evaluate red blood cells/fibrin (hematoxylin/eosin), platelets (CD61) and leucocytes (CD4, CD8 and CD20). All patients received CT angio to detect extra/intracranial vascular stenosis and 30-day cardiac monitoring to diagnose AF. According to TOAST classification the thrombi were classified in cardioembolic etiology CE (T-CE), due to symptomatic atherosclerosis (T-AT) and without any cause (T-CRYP). We excluded strokes due to double cause or incomplete workup. Results: Of the 117 patients: 30 were T-AT, 55 were T-CE and 32 were T-CRYP. T-AT patients were younger: T-AT 68 years (60-77) Vs. T-CE 75 years (68-80) Vs. T-CRYP 72 years (55-81) (p=0.034). T-AT group had higher percentage of CD4: T-AT 6.52% (4-13) Vs. T-CE (3.31% (12.9) Vs .T-CRYP 3.72% (1.5-12) (p=0.015) and lower percentage of CD61: T-AT 51.18% (34-68) Vs. CE 64.70% (19.56) Vs. CRYP 70.3% (19) (p=0.001). There were no correlation between CD4 and platelets. Both CD4 OR 1.05 (1-1.10) (p=0.020) and CD61 (OR 0.96 (0.94-0.98) (p=0.01) independently predicted T-AT from the age. Final analysis (n=400 cases) will be ended in September 2021. Conclusions: Patients with high percentage of CD4 and low percentage of CD61 are related to atherosclerosis etiology.

    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: Introduction: Current recommendations for regional stroke destination suggest that patients with an acute severe stroke should be triaged based on estimated time to arrival to a thrombectomy-capable center. We aimed to evaluate which time period available at the time that patient is triaged is able to discriminate which transfer modality should be chosen. Methods: We built and ordered logistic regression model adjusted for multiple comparisons with the RACECAT trial population using time periods available during triage: time from onset to emergency medical services (EMS) evaluation, estimated time of arrival to the thrombectomy-capable center and between centers distance. Estimated times were computed using a distance matrix API. Primary outcome was disability at 90 days, as assessed by the shift analysis on the modified Rankin score. Results: Of the 1369 patients evaluated, median time from onset to EMS evaluation, estimated time to arrival to the thrombectomy-capable center and between centers distances were 65 minutes (interquartile ratio (IQR) 43 to 138), 61 minutes (IQR 36 to 80) and 62 minutes (IQR 36 to 73), respectively. In patients transferred to local stroke centers, delay in EMS evaluation was associated with higher degrees of disability (for each 30 minutes delay, adjusted common odds ratio (acOR) 1.035, 97.5% confidence interval (CI) 1.005 to 1.066), with no influence in patients directly transferred to thrombectomy-capable centers (for each 30 minutes delay, acOR 0.999, 97.5% CI 0.981 to 1.018) (p interaction =0.048). In patients evaluated by EMS above 120 minutes after stroke onset, direct transfer to a thrombectomy-capable center was associated with lower degrees of disability (acOR 1.494, 95% CI 1.026 to 2.174). Conclusion: In the RACECAT trial, delay in EMS evaluation was associated with higher degrees of disability in patients transferred to local stroke centers and may serve as a potential biomarker for prehospital triage optimization.

    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: Introduction: Prehospital stroke code activations help reducing wokflow times during in-hospital triage. We aim to identify predictors of endovascular treatment among activated stroke codes (ASC) within 6 hours from symptom onset. Methods: CICAT is a prospective official mandatory registry of all ASC in Catalunya. We studied all CICAT entries from 5 comprehensive stroke centers during 18 months. We recorded demographic, historic, clinical and imaging variables on admission. We explored the relationship between these variables and endovascular treatment (EVT) Results: From 3944 ASC, 2818 (71.5%) were admitted 〈 6 hours from symptom onset. Mean age was 72±15.3 years, median RACE scale 4 (IQR 2-6), median onset-to-door time (OTDT) was 87 minutes (IQR 54-158), median NIHSS score 9 (IQR 4-18), median ASPECTS 10 (IQR 8-10. Final diagnosis was ischemic stroke in 1767 patients (62.7%), hemorrhagic stroke in 364 (12.9%), TIA in 167 (5.9%), stroke-mimic in 500 (17.7%). After admision a large vessel occlusion (LVO) was confirmed in 916 (23.2%) patients. While the rate of ASPECTS ≥ 9 among ischemic strokes progressively decreased over time (0-3h: 73.2% vs 3-6h: 57.1%: p 〈 0.01), the rate of ASPECTS ≥6 (0-3h: 95.1% vs 3-6h: 91.6%: p=0.13) and presence of LVO (0-3h: 22.4% vs 3-6h: 22.8%: p=0.82) did not decrease over time. Of all ACS, 16% (n=453) received EVT, with a median door to groin time of 77 minutes (IQR 55-102). Baseline variables independently associated with EVT were premorbid mRS 〉 2 (p 〈 0.001), prehospital RACE score 〉 4 (p=0.003) and NIHSSon admission 〉 8 (p 〈 0.001). The chances to receive EVT were similar in patients admitted 0-3 (16.4%) Vs. 3-6 hours (14.6; p=0.3). ASC with a RACE score 〉 4 had 26.0% probability to receive EVT Conclusion: Among ACS within 6 hours from symptom onset, time from onset to arrival is not associated with the probability of receiving EVT. Only 5% of these patients show an ASPECTS 〈 6 and this rate does not significantly increase during the first 6 hours. These data may be useful to generate direct transfer to angio-suite protocols.

    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.
