Early Metabolic Alteration Predicts Outcome With Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Treated by Mechanical Thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predicting clinical outcome based on either the postprocedural recanalization score (modified treatment in cerebral infarction) or the initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) clinical score performed immediately after the acute phase remains controversial. The gold standard to predict clinical outcome is the NIHSS score with diffusion weighted imaging. However, magnetic resonance spectroscopy could provide useful metabolic informations. Our study aimed to determine early metabolic factors predictive of long-term clinical outcome after acute ischemic stroke in patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion successfully treated by mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods

Patients with proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion, an NIHSS score greater
