Hypoattenuation on CT angiographic source images predicts risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and outcome after intra-arterial reperfusion therapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a significant complication of intravenous and catheter-based reperfusion. We hypothesized that the degree of vascular insufficiency, reflected as hypoattenuation on initial CT angiography (CTA) axial source images, is predictive of HT risk in stroke patients receiving intra-arterial reperfusion therapy. METHODS We examined ...
متن کاملComputed Tomography-Based Thrombus Imaging for the Prediction of Recanalization after Reperfusion Therapy in Stroke
The prediction of successful recanalization following thrombolytic or endovascular treatment may be helpful to determine the strategy of recanalization treatment in acute stroke. Thrombus can be detected using noncontrast computed tomography (CT) as a hyperdense artery sign or blooming artifact on a T2*-weighted gradient-recalled image. The detection of thrombus using CT depends on slice thickn...
متن کاملMultimodal reperfusion therapy for large hemispheric infarcts in octogenarians: is good outcome a realistic goal?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MMRT may be beneficial in a subset of patients with large hemispheric stroke who cannot be treated with systemic thrombolysis. Because most previous studies only included relatively young patients, the outcome of very old patients given MMRT remains unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with large hemispheric stroke treated with MMRT and admitted to intens...
متن کاملNarcissism Predicts Therapy Outcome in Psychosomatic Patients
Narcissism can be seen along a continuum of adjustment with well-defended narcissism on the adjusted end, and poorly-defended narcissism on the maladjusted end. Poorly-defended narcissism is associated with negative emotions, and somatic preoccupations. The present study investigated whether aspects of poorly-defended narcissism can be changed during hospital treatment and if the change predict...
متن کاملHyperdense basilar artery sign on unenhanced CT predicts thrombus and outcome in acute posterior circulation stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In acute stroke patients, the presence of a hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign on unenhanced CT is a specific but insensitive indicator of acute thrombosis. Our purpose was to determine whether the hyperdense basilar artery (HDBA) sign has utility in detecting thrombosis and predicting outcome in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of posterior circulation str...
