High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging for predicting successful recanalization in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The main aim of the study was to investigate the predictive factors of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) for successful recanalization in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO).

Methods

We included 41 consecutive patients who had CICAO and underwent recanalization attempts. The demographics, clinical data, and HR-MRI features in relation to the technique success were collected and analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. A score-based prediction model was constructed using a regression coefficient-based scoring method.

Results

Technical success was achieved in 26 (63.4%) patients, with a complication rate of 12.2% (5/41). Based on multivariate analysis, occlusions involving ophthalmic artery segment (C6)
