The predictive value of TyG index in patients with vertebrobasilar system thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a robust surrogate marker of metabolic dysregulation reflecting both insulin resistance and lipid-glucose homeostasis, has emerged as a significant predictor of cerebrovascular outcomes. Given the critical role of metabolic-nutritional status in post-stroke recovery, we supposed that the TyG index may predict the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy in the posterior circulation.

Methods

We studied 60 patients with cerebral infarction who underwent emergency posterior circulation interventional thrombectomy at a comprehensive stroke center from January 2018 to July 2024. The TyG index was used as the cut-off value of 8.53, and the formula was calculated as TyG index = ln [fasting glucose(mg/dL) × f
