    Abstract: Good collateral circulation (CC) associates favourable outcomes on acute stroke patients, but which is the best technique to evaluate it is controversial. Single-phase CTA (sCTA) is widely used, but lacks of temporal resolution, and may mislabel CC. We aim to evaluate a new, quick (not post processing), time resolved technique to evaluate CC: multiphase CTA (mCTA). METHODS: Consecutive 〈 4.5h stroke patients evaluated for reperfusion therapies with confirmed M1-MCA or TICA occlusion by sCTA were included. Two more cerebral CTA acquisitions with 10 and 20 seconds delay were performed for mCTA. CC evaluation is described in the Table. sCTA and mCTA were compared as predictors of clinical, radiological and functional endpoints. Recanalization (REC) was assessed by TCD at 24h. RESULTS: 78 patients were included. Mean age: 66.3±13.6y, median NIHSS 17.5 (IQR 6.3), 52 (66.7%) M1- and 26 (33.3%) TICA-occlusions. Mean time from onset to CTA: 2:32±1:31h. On sCTA, 61.8% patients presented good CC whereas on mCTA, 54.7%. Only on mCTA good CC was an independent predictor of low infarct volume at 24h (OR 3.6, CI 95% 1.3-10.5, p=0.017). Moreover, only mCTA-CC status was associated with lower 24h median NIHSS (good CC:5 vs poor CC:17, p 〈 0.001), and 3 months favourable outcome (mRS0-2: good CC 57.1% vs poor CC 11.5%, p 〈 0.001). Association with outcome was especially significant in patients without REC: among poor CC patients, mRS0-2: 0% in non REC Vs 50% in REC (p 〈 0.01). In a logistic regression model including age, NIHSS, ASPECTS and REC, only good CC on mCTA predicted favourable outcome (OR 6.8, CI 95% 1.6-29.2, p=0.009). CONCLUSION: CC evaluation on mCTA improves accuracy of clinical and radiological endpoints as compared with sCTA. Good CC on mCTA is an independent predictor of low infarct volume and good outcome, especially if REC is not achieved.

    Abstract: Background: Collateral circulation (CC) has been associated with recanalization, infarct volume, risk of haemorrhagic transformation and clinical outcome in patients undergoing acute reperfusion therapies. However, its relationship with the development to malignant MCA infarction (mMCAi) has not been evaluated. Our aim was determine the impact of collateral circulation using multiphase CTA (mCTA) on acute phase in the prediction of mMCAi. Methods: Consecutive acute stroke 〈 4.5h patients that were evaluated for reperfusion therapies and with a M1-MCA or TICA occlusion by CTA were included. CC was evaluated on mCTA, CC evaluation was performed according to the University Calgary CC Scale; CC was also classified as poor (grades 0-3) or good (grades 4-5). The mMCAi was defined according to previously published clinical and radiological criteria. Recanalization was assessed with TCD at 24-hours and TICI score≥2a in endovascular treatment (ET) patients. Good outcome was defined as mRS 0-2 at 3months. Results: 82 patients were included. Mean age: 65.1 ±13.83 years, median baseline NIHSS 18(IQR 5.7), 67.9% M1 and 32.1% TICA occlusions, 53 patients received ET and 57 iv tPA, 15 patients develop a mMCAi. In the univariate analysis, patients with mMCAi had lower CC scores (2.29 Vs. 3.71 p=0.001), higher baseline NIHSS (19.86 Vs. 15.70 p=0.016), lower TIMI reperfusion scores (0 Vs. 2.79 p=00.5) and presence of TICA occlusion was more often compared with M1 occlusion (71% Vs. 11.9%, p=0.033) ET was associated with lower rate of mMCAi development as compared with only i.v. reperfusion treatment (9.4%Vs.29.6%, p=0.028). Furthermore, all patients with poor CC who did not recanalize developed mMCAi (6 Vs. 0, p=0.68) On the multivariate analysis adjusted to age, vessel occlusion, baseline NIHSS and recanalization, the presence of poor CC by mCTA was the only independent predictor of mMCAi (p=0.048 OR: 9.72, 95%IC: 1.387-92.53) Conclusion: CC assessment by mCTA independently predicts malignant MCA progression. In patients with persistent occlusion after reperfusion therapies, the presence of poor CC may help in the early malignant MCA detection and management.

    Abstract: Introduction: Systemic blood pressure (BP) should be strictly monitored and adjusted during the initial stages of stroke. Due to the impairment of cerebral autoregulation, cerebral blood flow is directly affected by systemic BP and some degree of permissive hypertension might be beneficial prior to reperfusion treatments to ensure an adequate perfusion in the ischemic tissue. However, after generalization of endovascular treatment (EVT) the rate of successful recanalization has skyrocketed and it is not well established if, once achieved, BP control should be stricter given its potential risks. We aim to explore the relation between BP and outcome among patients who underwent EVT. Methods: This is a retrospective study of a prospectively acquired unicentric database that includes patients who underwent EVT with successful recanalization measured by a mTICI ≥2b. Hourly measuring of systolic and diastolic BP was conducted during the first 24 hours post-procedure. BP variation was measured using standard deviation (SD) and range. We explored the effects of BP on functional outcome at 3 months and safety variables. Results: The study included 351 subjects with a mean age of 72.7+/-13.1 and 51.6% were men. The 3-months mRS was ≤2 in 50.4% of patients, 66 subjects (19.2%) presented hemorrhagic transformation and 67 (19.1%) were dead in the 3-months follow-up period. Both systolic BP SD (15.6+/-9.9 vs. 12.9+/-4.3; p 〈 0.01) and range (55.6+/-18.4 vs. 48.7+/-16.4; p 〈 0.01) were higher among patients with bad functional outcome (mRS 〉 2). Subjects with hemorrhagic transformation presented higher range of DBP (35.7+/-12.4 vs. 32.0+/-11.9; p=0.03) and SBP (56.8+/-17.0 vs. 51.4+/-18.1; p=0.03) and higher diastolic DBP SD (9.3+/-4.1 vs. 8.2+/-2.7; p 〈 0.01). In a logistic regression analysis DBP SD predicted ICH (OR 1.11, CI 1.02-1.22, p=0.01) and SBP range emerged as a predictor of poor functional outcome (OR 0.97, CI 0.96-0.99, p 〈 0.01). No differences were detected in regard to admission BP, maximal and minimal BP or mean arterial pressure. Conclusions: Major fluctuations in systolic and diastolic BP predict increased risk of hemorrhagic complications and poor functional outcome. Minimizing BP fluctuations may improve outcome of EVT patients after recanalization.
