Angiographic assessment of lenticulostriate artery sign to predict clinical outcomes after thrombectomy in patients with stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Lenticulostriate artery (LSA) reperfusion is critical for basal ganglia blood supply. Basal ganglia infarction (BGI) inconveniencing patients with large artery occlusion and occluded perforators may influence clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the association between LSA recanalization, BGI, and long-term outcome after thrombectomy in the ischemic hemisphere.

Methods

In total, 158 stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy were included in this study. Clinical and imaging variables were retrospectively analyzed. LSA signs were categorized as presence (LSA+) or absence (LSA-) of clear vascular patency in the ischemic hemisphere at on-going and post recanalizations. Logistic regression was used to test the relationship between baseline clinical and ima
