Predictive Value of Clinical and Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Parameters for Hemorrhagic Transformation and Long-Term Outcomes Following Endovascular Thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study's objective was to explore whether certain parameters measurable by dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) performed 24 h after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) can predict subsequent hemorrhagic transformation.

Material and methods

We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) managed with EVT who had follow-up DECT within 24 h post-EVT between January 2019 and December 2023. Clinical and image parameters were recorded for predictive factor analysis. The primary outcome was hemorrhagic transformation, which was determined by using follow-up computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and 3-month post-EVT favorable functional outcome, as defined by a modified ranki
