Transcranial Doppler After Endovascular Treatment to Evaluate Collateral Status and Outcomes in Patients With Large-Vessel Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent advances in endovascular therapy (EVT) have led to significant improvements in functional outcomes of patients with stroke. However, early neurological deterioration after EVT has remained a concerning issue. This cohort study was designed to assess the feasibility of early transcranial Doppler (TCD) after EVT and to identify associations between TCD findings and early neurological deterioration.

Methods

Between October 16, 2020, and March 28, 2021, we recruited 20 patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion who underwent EVT. Five patients were excluded because of a poor temporal window; 2 had an unsuccessful intervention. Using TCD, we measured peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, mean flow velocity, and pulsatility index fo
