description | Predicting the unseen arterial course and branching pattern distal to vessel occlusion is crucial for endovascular thrombectomy in acute stroke patients. We investigated whether a comprehensive interpretation of NCT and CTA would enhance arterial course prediction more than either NCT or CTA interpretation alone. Among 150 patients who achieved post-thrombectomy TICI grades ≥ IIb for anterior circulation occlusions, we assessed visualization grade on both NCT and CTA by five scales at the thrombosed and the distal-to-thrombus segment, using DSA as the reference standard. The visualization grades were compared and related to various subgroups. The mean visualization grade of the distal-to-thrombus segment on NCT was significantly larger than that of CTA (mean ± SD, 3.62 ± 0.87 versus 3.31 ± 1.20; p < 0.05). On CTA, visualization grade of distal-to-thrombus segment in the good collateral flow subgroup was higher than that in the poor collateral flow subgroup (mean ± SD, 4.01 ± 0.93 versus 2.56 ± 0.99; p < 0.001). After the comprehensive interpretation of NCT and CTA, seventeen cases (11%) showed visualization grade of distal-to-thrombus segment upgrading. Tracing arterial course and piecing branching patterns together in distal-to-occlusion of stroke patients was feasible on the routine pre-interventional NCT and CTA, which may provide timely guidance during thrombectomy. |
