Predictive accuracy of an ADC map for hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke patients after successful recanalization with endovascular therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with poor outcome. Previous studies only reported the association of mean ischemic severity or total infarct volume with HT after endovascular therapy (EVT). We aimed to investigate the predictive value of preoperative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map for HT by combinated ischemic severity and corresponding volume in AIS after successful recanalization with EVT.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 119 consecutive cases of AIS with large vessel occlusion of anterior circulation within 24 hours after symptom onset and successful recanalization after EVT. All cases had baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), follow-up computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance angiography (M
