Perfusion Abnormalities on 24-Hour Perfusion Imaging in Patients With Complete Endovascular Reperfusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perfusion abnormalities in the infarct and salvaged penumbra have been proposed as a potential reason for poor clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score >2) despite complete angiographic reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI3]). In this study, we aimed to identify different microvascular perfusion patterns and their association with clinical outcomes among TICI3 patients.

Methods

University Hospital Bern's stroke registry of all patients between February 2015 and December 2021. Macrovascular reperfusion was graded using the TICI scale. Microvascular reperfusion status was evaluated within the infarct area on cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow perfusion maps obtained 24-hour postintervention. Primary outcome was functional independen
