研究目的
To evaluate the prognostic value of PBV-maps concerning the final infarct volume in dependency of recanalization status and to quantify potential volume differences between the PBV-lesion and the final infarct.
研究成果
FDCT-PBV-maps performed before EVT for large-vessel stroke either overestimate (in successful recanalization) or underestimate (in persistent vessel occlusion) final infarct size. Hence, PBV-maps do not reliably predict final infarct volume and should not be used in clinical decision making for or against an endovascular procedure in large-vessel stroke.
研究不足
The small sample size and an uneven ratio of cases without and successful recanalization. Lacking the corresponding MSCT-perfusion maps, a direct comparison of FDCT-PBV with MSCT-CBV and cerebral blood flow was not possible.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compared preinterventional PBV-deficit volumes with final infarct volumes on follow-up multislice-CT after endovascular treatment.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
29 consecutive patients with occlusion of the middle cerebral artery or the distal internal carotid artery were included.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A biplane flat panel detector angiographic system (Artis zee biplane, Siemens AG, Erlangen, Germany) was used for FDCT-PBV-imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
FDCT-PBV-imaging was performed immediately before EVT, and follow-up noncontrast multislice-CT was acquired after intervention.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
PBV-lesion size and final infarct volume were assessed by manually outlining the hypoperfused area on PBV-SI maps and on MSCT, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric tests.
