Fusion Imaging in Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recanalization sometimes fails during endovascular thrombectomy due to target vessel access failure. Two-dimensional/3-dimensional fusion imaging in the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane platform may facilitate access by fusing the preoperative computed tomography angiography with procedural imaging. This observational study aimed to evaluate vascular access, success rates, and procedure times in endovascular thrombectomies with fusion imaging compared to standard treatment.

Methods

Patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, were consecutively included. Baseline and procedural characteristics were gathered from radiological patient records. Procedural success rate and lead times such as groin-to-reca
