T_max Volumes Predict Final Infarct Size and Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Endovascular Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this paper was to explore the utility of time to maximum concentration (T_max )-based target mismatch on computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in predicting radiological and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) selected for endovascular treatment (EVT).

Methods

Patients with AIS underwent CTP within 24 hours from onset followed by EVT. Critically hypoperfused tissue and ischemic core volumes were automatically calculated using T_max thresholds >9.5 seconds and >16 seconds, respectively. The difference between T_max  > 9.5 seconds and T_max  > 16 seconds volumes and the ratio between T_max  > 9.5 seconds and T_max
