    Abstract: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in ischemic stroke patients with poor prestroke conditions remains controversial. We aimed to analyze the frequency of previously disabled patients treated with MT in clinical practice, the safety and clinical response to MT of patients with preexisting disability, and the disabled patient characteristics associated with a better response to MT. Methods: We studied all consecutive patients with anterior circulation occlusion treated with MT from January 2017 to December 2019 included in the Codi Ictus Catalunya registry—a government-mandated, prospective, hospital-based data set. Prestroke disability was defined as modified Rankin Scale score 2 or 3. Functional outcome at 90 days was centrally assessed by a blinded evaluator of the Catalan Stroke Program. Favorable outcome (to return at least to prestroke modified Rankin Scale at 90 days) and safety and secondary outcomes were compared with patients without previous disability. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between prestroke disability and outcomes and to identify a disabled patient profile with favorable outcome after MT. Results: Of 2487 patients included in the study, 409 (17.1%) had prestroke disability (313 modified Rankin Scale score 2 and 96 modified Rankin Scale score 3). After adjustment for covariates, prestroke disability was not associated with a lower chance of achieving favorable outcome at 90 days (24% versus 30%; odds ratio, 0.79 [0.57–1.08]), whereas it was independently associated with a higher risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (5% versus 3%; odds ratio, 2.04 [1.11–3.72] ) and long-term mortality (31% versus 18%; odds ratio, 1.74 [1.27–2.39]) compared with patients without disability. Prestroke disabled patients without diabetes, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 〉 8 and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 〈 17 showed similar safety and outcome results after MT as patients without prestroke disability. Conclusions: Despite a higher mortality and risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, prestroke-disabled patients return as often as independent patients to their prestroke level of function, especially those nondiabetic patients with favorable early ischemic signs profile. These data support a potential benefit of MT in patients with previous mild or moderate disability after large anterior vessel occlusion stroke.

    Abstract: The purpose of the COMPLETE (International Acute Ischemic Stroke Registry With the Penumbra System Aspiration Including the 3D Revascularization Device) registry was to evaluate the generalizability of the safety and efficacy of the Penumbra System (Penumbra, Inc, Alameda) in a real-world setting. Methods: COMPLETE was a global, prospective, postmarket, multicenter registry. Patients with large vessel occlusion–acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy using the Penumbra System with or without the 3D Revascularization Device as frontline approach were enrolled at 42 centers (29 United States, 13 Europe) from July 2018 to October 2019. Primary efficacy end points were successful postprocedure angiographic revascularization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction ≥2b) and 90-day functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0–2). The primary safety end point was 90-day all-cause mortality. An imaging core lab determined modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scores, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Scores, clot location, and occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage at 24 hours. Independent medical reviewers adjudicated safety end points. Results: Six hundred fifty patients were enrolled (median age 70 years, 54.0% female, 49.2% given intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator before thrombectomy). Rate of modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b to 3 postprocedure was 87.8% (95% CI, 85.3%–90.4%). First pass and postprocedure rates of modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2c to 3 were 41.5% and 66.2%, respectively. At 90 days, 55.8% (95% CI, 51.9%–59.7%) had modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 2, and all-cause mortality was 15.5% (95% CI, 12.8%–18.3%). Conclusions: Using Penumbra System for frontline mechanical thrombectomy treatment of patients with large vessel occlusion–acute ischemic stroke in a real-world setting was associated with angiographic, clinical, and safety outcomes that were comparable to prior randomized clinical trials with stringent site and operator selection criteria.

    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.

    Abstract: Substantial proportion of patients who achieve successful recanalization of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion do not achieve good functional outcome. We aim to analyze the effect of number of thrombectomy device passes and degree of the recanalization (by modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction) on the clinical and functional outcome. Methods— Five hundred forty-two consecutive patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation at a single tertiary stroke center. Baseline characteristics, number of passes, recanalization degree, clinical outcome at 24 hours (measured by National Institutes of Health Scale score), and functional outcome (measured by modified Rankin Scale at 90 days) were registered. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the association of number of passes and degree of recanalization with dramatical clinical recovery (final National Institutes of Health Scale score ≤2 or decrease in 8 or more National Institutes of Health Scale score points in 24 hours) and good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 at 90 days). Results— Four hundred fifty-nine patients (84%) achieved successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2B–3), 213 (39%) of them after first device pass. In the multivariate analysis, first-pass recanalization and modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 3 were independent predictors of good functional outcome (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.4–4.5; P =0.002 and odds ratio, 2.6 CI; 1.5–4.7; P =0.001, respectively) and dramatical clinical recovery (odds ratio, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1–3; P =0.032 and odds ratio, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.7–5.1; P 〈 0.001, respectively). Rate of recanalization declined after each pass 39% (213/542), 35% (113/310), 33% (63/190), and 24% (26/154) for passes 1 to 4, respectively and 28% (45/158) for every attempt above 4 passes ( P 〈 0.001). In patients who achieved recanalization, a linear association between number of passes and good functional outcome was observed: 1 pass (58.6%), 2 passes (50.5%), 3 passes (48.4%), 4 passes (38.5%), or 5 or more passes (25.6%; P 〈 0.001) as compared with patients who did not achieve recanalization (16.9%). Conclusions— High number of device passes and less degree of recanalization are associated with worse outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion. Future studies should investigate the optimal number of passes that should be attempted in patients without substantial recanalization.

    Abstract: Time to reperfusion is fundamental in reducing morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. We aimed to demonstrate that direct transfer to angio-suite (DTAS) of patients with suspected large vessel occlusion stroke improves workflow times and outcomes. Methods— A case-control matched study of the first 79 DTAS patients with confirmed large vessel occlusion (cases) and 145 no-DTAS patients (controls). DTAS protocol included a cone beam computed tomography in the angio-suite to rule out intracerebral hemorrhage for those patients with no prior neuroimaging in a referring center. Cases and controls were matched by location of vessel occlusion, age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and time from symptoms onset to Comprehensive Stroke Center arrival. Dramatic clinical improvement was defined as a decrease in NIHSS score of 〉 10 points or final NIHSS score of ≤2. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of ≤2 at 90 days. Results— During an 18 months period a total of 97 patients were directly transferred to the angio-suite after admission: 11 (11.6%) showed an intracerebral hemorrhage on cone beam computed tomography, 7 (7.2%) did not have a large vessel occlusion on initial angiogram, and 79 (76.3%) had a large vessel occlusion and received endovascular treatment (cases). There were no differences in age, baseline NIHSS score, level of occlusion and time from onset-to-door between cases and controls. The median door-to-groin time (16 [12–20] versus 70 [45–105] minutes; P 〈 0.01) and onset-to-groin times (222 [152–282] versus 259 [190–345] minutes; P 〈 0.01) were shorter in the DTAS group. At 24 hours, DTAS patients presented lower NIHSS score (7 [4–16] versus 14 [4–20] ; P =0.01), higher rate of dramatic improvement (50.6% Vs. 31.7%; P =0.04), and higher rate of favorable clinical outcome at 90 days (41% versus 28%; P =0.05). A logistic regression model adjusting for all matching variables showed that DTAS protocol was independently associated with 3 months favorable outcome (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2–5.3; P =0.01). Conclusions— DTAS is an effective strategy to reduce workflow time which may significantly increase the odds of achieving a favorable outcome.

    Abstract: Different studies have pointed that CT perfusion (CTP) could overestimate ischemic core in early time window. We aim to evaluate the influence of time and collateral status on ischemic core overestimation. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including patients with anterior circulation large-vessel stroke that achieved reperfusion after endovascular treatment. Ischemic core and collateral status were automatically estimated on baseline CTP using commercially available software. CTP-derived core was considered as tissue with a relative reduction of cerebral blood flow 〈 30%, as compared with contralateral hemisphere. Collateral status was assessed using the hypoperfusion intensity ratio (defined by the proportion of the time to maximum of tissue residue function 〉 6 seconds with time to maximum of tissue residue function 〉 10 seconds). Final infarct volume was measured on 24 to 48 hours noncontrast CT. Ischemic core overestimation was considered when CTP-derived core was larger than final infarct. Results: Four hundred and seven patients were included in the analysis. Median CTP-derived core and final infarct volume were 7 mL (interquartile range, 0–27) and 20 mL (interquartile range, 5–55), respectively. Median hypoperfusion intensity ratio was 0.46 (interquartile range, 0.23–0.59). Eighty-three patients (20%) presented ischemic core overestimation (median overestimation, 12 mL [interquartile range, 41–5]). Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted by CTP-derived core and confounding variables showed that poor collateral status (per 0.1 hypoperfusion intensity ratio increase; adjusted odds ratio, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.20–1.65] ) and earlier onset to imaging time (per 60 minutes earlier; adjusted odds ratio, 1.14 [CI, 1.04–1.25]) were independently associated with core overestimation. No significant association was found with imaging to reperfusion time (per 30 minutes earlier; adjusted odds ratio, 1.17 [CI, 0.96–1.44] ). Poor collateral status influence on core overestimation differed according to onset to imaging time, with a stronger size of effect on early imaging patients( P interaction 〈 0.01). Conclusions: In patients with large-vessel stroke that achieve reperfusion after endovascular therapy, poor collateral status might induce higher rates of ischemic core overestimation on CTP, especially in patients in earlier window time. CTP reflects a hemodynamic state rather than tissue fate; collateral status and onset to imaging time are important factors to consider when estimating core on CTP.

    Abstract: Good collateral circulation (CC) is a strong outcome predictor in acute stroke patients. CT angiography (CTA) is wide-world available but does not provide accurate information about parenchymal status. CT perfusion (CTP) is frequently used to determine ischemic core and tissue at risk. Our aim was to identify an easy and quick method to evaluate CC status by CTP. Methods: Consecutive ischemic stroke patients 〈 8h from symptoms onset evaluated for reperfusion therapies were studied. Non-contrast CT, CTP and multiphase CTA were performed. Patients with confirmed M1-MCA or TICA occlusion on CTA were included. CC evaluation was determined by multiphase CTA (mCTA) according to the Calgary CC Scale and classified as poor (grades 0-2) or good (grades 3-5). In CTP maps, one single ipsi- and contralateral regions of interest (ROI) were defined in the MCA cortical territory (M4, M5, M6). We studied the association of absolute and relative to contralateral ROI-CTP values with CC degree determined by mCTA. Results: 33 patients were included, median NIHSS 17.5 (2-22). Twenty-five patients (75.8%) presented a M1 and 8 (24.2%) a TICA occlusion. On mCTA, 27 (81.8%) patients presented with a favourable CC status and 6 (18.2%) with poor CC. Mean ROI values in the ischemic MCA territory were: CBV 3.5±1.5 ml/100mg, CBF 46.9±29.3 ml/100mg/min, MTT 8.1±3.1 s, Tmax 23.2±4.4 s. In the contralateral non-ischemic MCA, the mean ROI values were: CBV 3.48±1.4, CBF 66.5±32.7, MTT 5.6±2.3, Tmax 20.4±4.8. Absolute and relative CBV-ROI data (relCBV= ischemic CBV value / contralateral CBV value) were the only values significantly associated with CC status on mCTA (good CC mean CBV: 3.8 ml/100g VS poor CC mean CBV: 1.9, p=0.006; good CC mean relCBV 1.1 vs poor CC mean relCBV 0.6, p=0.019). A ROC curve defined 2.5 ml/100mg as the better cut-off point of ROI-CBV that identified patients with good CC status (sensitivity 96%, specificity 84%, VPP 0.96, VPN 0.83). Patients with a ROI-CBV 〉 2.5 presented lower median NIHSS after 24 hours (4 vs 18, p= 0.012) and smaller mean infarct volume on control CT (27.9 vs 88.3, p=0.021). Conclusion: A single cortical ROI-CBV allows an easy and quick accurate evaluation of collateral circulation in CTP. ROI-CBV 〉 2.5 ml/100mg is related to good clinical and radiological outcomes.

    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: Despite successful recanalization after endovascular treatment (EVT), a proportion of patients will not experience favorable outcome. We hypothesize that an early computed tomography perfusion (CTP-AFT) immediately after EVT may improve clinical outcome prediction. Methods: Consecutive patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) who achieved partial (TICI 2a) or complete (TICI 2b/3) recanalization after EVT underwent CTP-AFT within 30 minutes. Different CTP parameters were measured with the Rapid software. Clinical data were recorded including dramatic recovery (DR: ≥8 points decrease from baseline NIHSS or NIHSS 0-2 at 24 hours) Results: Forty-six LVO were included, median baseline NIHSS was 18 (P25-75 13-22). Final recanalization grades were: TICI 2a, 5 patients (10.8%); TICI 2b, 19 (41.6%); and TICI 3, 22 (47.8%). Median 24h infarct volume was 7.5 cc (0-19). Median NIHSS decrease after 24h was 8 (1-16). Twenty-seven (58%) patients experienced DR. The volume with Tmax 〉 6 seconds was the only CTP parameter that correlated with degree of recanalization: TICI 2a: 102cc (60-138); TICI 2b: 15cc (0-37); and TICI 3: 0cc (0-5), p 〈 0.005. Lower Tmax 〉 6s volume was associated with lower 24h-infarct volume (p 〈 0.01), lower 24h NIHSS (p 〈 0.01) and higher probability of DR (p 〈 0.01). A ROC curve identified a Tmax 〉 6s volume 〈 5.5cc as the best cut-off point to predict DR (sens 73.7%, specif 70.4%, AUC 0.74). A logistic regression analysis adjusted by age, baseline NIHSS, ASPECTS, occlusion location and time and degree of recanalization showed that the only predictor of DR was a Tmax 〉 6s volume 〈 5.5cc (OR 21.6, CI 2.7-173.2, p 〈 0.01). Conclusion: CTP maps performed immediately after EVT correlated with degree of recanalization. However, a low Tmax 〉 6s volume predicted clinical outcome better than post-procedural TICI scores.
