Elevated triglyceride-glucose index predicts poor outcome in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis after extracranial and intracranial bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel reliable biomarker for IR that incorporates blood glucose and triglyceride, is linked to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). In this study, we aimed to further investigate the association between the TyG index and the outcomes of ICAS patients following extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass grafting.

Methods

489 ICAS patients who underwent EC-IC bypass between Jan 2009 and Jan 2022 at our hospital were retrospectively collected. The major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), and anastomotic restenosis, both of which are critical factors leading to poor prognosis of ICAS patients after EC-IC bypass, were mainly recorded and analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank te
