Abstract

Objectives

To explore the value of post-treatment fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensity (FVH) in predicting clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed data from consecutive patients with large vessel occlusion of anterior circulation between July 2017 and February 2021. Together with other variables, status of post-treatment FVH was assessed for each patient. Good outcome was defined as a 3-month modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2. Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, independent-samples t test, multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used as appropriate.

Results

Among 84 included patients, 48 (57.1%) patients showed post-treatment FVH. Post-treatment FVH significantly correlated with incomplete recanalization (p < 0.05) and low Alberta Stroke Project Early CT Changes Score on post-treatment diffusion-weighted imaging (p < 0.05). Higher incidence of hemorrhage transformation was observed in patients with post-treatment FVH than those without (27.1% vs. 16.7%); however, the difference did not reach significance (p = 0.259). Successful recanalization (odds ratio [OR], 0.024; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.003–0.194; p < 0.05), lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at admission (NIHSS_pre) (OR, 1.196; 95% CI, 1.017–1.406; p < 0.05), and no post-treatment FVH (OR, 74.690; 95% CI, 4.624–1206.421; p < 0.05) were found to be independent predictors of good outcomes. Combined models integrating all three independent predictors (recanalization+NIHSS_pre+post-treatment FVH) significantly outperformed the combined model without post-treatment FVH (recanalization+NIHSS_pre) in predicting clinical outcome (p = 0.004).

Conclusions

Post-treatment FVH may be an effective prognostic marker associated with clinical outcome in patients with AIS after EVT.

Key Points

• Post-treatment FVH correlates with incomplete recanalization and higher infarct volume.

• Post-treatment FVH is independently associated with an unfavorable outcome.

• Post-treatment FVH may provide prognostic information in patients with AIS after EVT.
