Abstract TP78: Classification of Ischemic Core Distribution Pattern Using Computed Tomography Perfusion in Anterior Circulation Acute Large Vessel Occlusion

Résumé fourni par la source

Introduction: The evaluation of ischemic core is important in acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion. The ischemic core is thought to approximate the region that is difficult to receive collateral circulation. We classified the ischemic core distribution pattern into four types on the basis of the tendency of cerebral blood volume (CBV) decrease in the ischemic core, and examined the prognostic ability. Methods: We included M1 or ICA occlusion which completely recanalized (TICI3) by thrombectomy in our institute from January 2015 to May 2019. The ischemic core was defined as a region where CBV were reduced less than 1.9 ml/100cc. Ischemic core distribution pattern was classified into the following 4 types. Type A: absent of ischemic core. Type B: ischemic core is confined to the basal ganglia and white matter. Type C1: ischemic core is present in the cortex but less than half of MCA region. Type C2: ischemic core is present in the cortex, and more than half of MCA region. The patient characteristics, temporal parameters, ASPECTS and ischemic core distribution pattern were analyzed with mRS0-2 at discharge as a good outcome group. Results: A total of 47 cases (14 ICA, 33 M1) were included. Ischemic core distribution pattern correlated well with mRS at discharge (p<0.004). Factors that showed a significance in univariate analysis between the good outcome group (n=19) and the poor outcome group (n=28) were age (76 vs 80.5, p=0.037), ASPECTS (10 vs 9, p=0.027), ischemic core distribution type (B vs C1, p=0.002), last known well to recanalization time (191 vs 272.5, p=0.027). Among these factors, multivariate analysis correlated significantly with age (OR, 1.18; 95CI,1.01-1.36), ischemic core distribution pattern (OR, 5.01; 95CI, 1.8-13.9), and recanalization time (OR, 1.46; 95CI, 1.01-2.12). Conclusions: The distribution pattern of ischemic core defined by reduced CBV have good correlation with outcome. There is a possibility that it can be used as a simple tool to predict prognosis using CT perfusion in anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusion.
